Directions
Couscous with Chicken and Tomatoes,,Thanks for a very nice recipe that doesn’t call for lots of foreign ingredients. I did make a few modifications. I cooked the chicken separately in my pressure cooker then broke into chunks using the liquid as part of the base for the stew. I made the couscous in the stew sans the chicken (was slightly confused by the couscous cooking instructions)and then added the chicken pieces back into the dish just before serving. I also substituted sofrito for the tomato puree.,I made this last night and my husband loved it. My youngin’ (9 years old) wasn’t real keen on it, but this really isn’t a “kid” recipe. I found the directions confusing, they need to be clarified. The recipe didn’t state how long to cook for after adding the tomatoes, carrots, chick peas, etc. I simmered for about 30 minutes more after adding those items until dish was at the consistency I wanted. All in all it was a good dish (not amazing but good). The directions just need repairing–might be confusing for someone who can’t or doesn’t like to adlib with recipes.
