  Delicious and easy. Even my one year-old liked it, but I had to cut out that chili.

  It was delicious I made it this evening.It did though cause a little fracas in the kitchen as my husband thought the instructions meant to cook for 40mins then add the dates, whereas, I thought it meant to cook for an hour then add the dates. Needless to say the best cook won, and it was cooked for an hour before adding the dates. I would next time cook the paste first for a few minutes then add the chicken, and proceed as said.

  This was really tasty, I made it for friends and they loved it. It was nice to make something that I could just leave in the oven whilst I chatted.

  Absolutely delicious, have made this twice for friends and had great feedback both times. Couldn't find any tinned cherry tomotoes so just used normal plum ones and also good with a bit of hot rather than mild chilli powder if you like a bit of heat.

  This was amazing, have made it a few times for dinner parties already. Really straightforward, great flavours. Tesco do tinned cherry tomatoes now-in their finest range-about 75p a tin. They do look nice, but chopped tomatoes would be fine too.

  I cheated and used about 5 teaspoons of ready made harissa paste instead of making the paste and it was still delicious.

  I love Moroccan food but it is often very time consuming so this recipe is brilliant - so quick to prepare and then just leave it in the oven. I use dried apricots instead of dates and it works fine.

  Great recipe, making the paste and preparing the squash is the most time consuming. Ended up making this twice in one week for 2 seperate family dinners. Everyone loved it, will definitely make again.

  Very tasty. Used carrots and pepper in place of the squash as had some spare- worked perfectly. I thought the sauce may be a little watery at first but when served with couscous it was just perfect.
