Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7 and boil half a kettle, then take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Cut your pepper[s] in half and scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon then chop into large, bite-sized pieces
Top, tail and chop your courgette[s] into bite-sized pieces
Peel your red onion[s], then chop into wedges

Add the chopped vegetables to a baking tray (use tin foil to avoid mess!) and scatter with your ground coriander, a generous pinch of salt and a generous drizzle of olive oil
Put the tray in the oven for 15-20 min or until the vegetables are softened and starting to brown

Meanwhile, add your saffron to a small bowl with 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] boiled water and set aside to infuse

While the saffron infuses, add your couscous to a large bowl with 200ml [300ml] [400ml] boiled water and your chopped dates, then cover and set aside
Add your natural yoghurt to the infused saffron water with a pinch of salt and mix to combine – this is your saffron yoghurt

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Chop the free range chicken breasts portions into small bite-sized pieces
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add the chopped chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 7-8 min until browned
Add your ground sumac, chopped garlic, harissa paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] water and cook for 1-2 min further or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)

Meanwhile, strip your mint leaves from their stems and chop roughly, discard the stems
Chop your coriander finely, including the stalks
Fluff the couscous with a fork and mix through the roasted vegetables, half of the chopped herbs (save the rest for garnish!) and a drizzle of olive oil

Serve the free range harissa & sumac chicken over the roast veg couscous
Dollop over the saffron yoghurt and garnish with the remaining chopped herbs
Enjoy!
