  Followed this receipe but it looked nothing like the picture. The chicken was not coated and it was more tomatoey than anything else..... real disappointment . In the picture it looks like a dry dish but its not, also lacked a punch and flavour

  I agree with the other comments that this was not as dry as the picture, lots more sauce and I would recommend that people used a small tin of tomatoes instead to achieve the picture! I also used ras al hanout instead of the cinnamon and cumin to give more of an authentic morrocan flavour. It was a good midweek supper, especially as it was so low fat, but not anything particular to rave about.....

  This was a fairly tasty way to cook the chicken, but seemed just to have a "curry" type taste, rather than a specifically "Moroccan" taste. We cooked the chicken for a long time, so that the sauce did eventually reduce and looked something like the photo, then cooked the beans separately and added them at the last minute. Nice enough for a mid week easy to prepare dish; but personally I would add more spices.

  I changed the recipe a bit, also because of the given comments here. The changes i made: i substituted the cinnamon and cumin by 2 tsp ras el hanout. I omitted the stock, but put in a stock-tablet. I cooked the beans for 5 minutes before adding them to the sauce. I added a little salt to the couscous. We all liked ik this way!

  As per everyone's suggestions, I put in a stock cube with no water, let it cook for a while to reduce down and just upped the amount of cumin and cinnamon I put in to bring out more flavour. I also served with a side salad with a mint yoghurt dressing to compliment the spices. I must say, pretty damn delicious, easy and healthy! Will def make again.

  I made this with pork rather than chicken, which worked really well. I didn't care for the green beans in the dish, next time I will cook them separately.

  Very tasty and will probably make this again. I decided to add some harrisa paste to the sauce - it was a bit too spicy for the five year old but I liked it! The lemon couscous is yum - I added a load of herbs to it - mint, corriander and spring onions.

  After reading the other comments, I made quite a few changes: I used 4 tbsp tomato paste and 2 tbsp chermoula paste with just a splash of stock to loosen it up, and added the cooked beans just before serving. My flatmate thought it was delicious!

  This recipe was ok. Though certainly needed pepping up a bit. After the first taste I immediately added some spicy tomato chutney to make it tastier and it was much improved.
