  The flavours where lovely in this dish...........but mine came out looking like dish water so put me off a little. I'll try it again though.

  This is a fantastic recipe: fruity and sweet yet spicy! I did it with tagine powder (authentic Moroccan) rather than the suggested spices and without the pomegranate and it worked out well. Goes very well with seasoned cous-cous and almonds and chick peas too! I did find that the chicken didn't really brown properly with the timings given in this recipe though. A bigger pan may have helped. I also found it was quite watery after the suggested 15 minutes, and it helped to let it bake slightly in the oven to finish it off.

  really good mid week meal. tastey, quick and low fat. you can really taste the apricots and the lentils give the sauce a really lovely thick consitancy. It looks nothing like the picture, which actually put me off for ages.

  This was amazing! Dont even think about not adding pomegranate, it really adds to the taste. True it does not look pretty so plenty of the afore mentioned fruit and fresh herbs will make it look more visually appealing.

  Tried this last night, it was lovely and didnt make me feel bloated afterwards.....Will use natural apricots next as they have a more pungent flavour than the orange ones with nasty Sulphur Dioxide!!! It was spicy warm rather than spicy hot. Plus, I have never used Ras-El-Hanout before and I loved it!!! If it comes out too watery I suggest putting in more red lentils to soak up the excess stock...also I browned the chicken off in a seperate frying pan before adding which made it look more appealing to my kids. But a lovely, quick easy recipe, will def make it a part of our family menu.
