Directions

  1. There's a picture of a Moroccan Chicken Soup with Couscous on the cover of Sam Gugino's book, Cooking to Beat the Clock. This stew is a knock-off inspired by which sight.
  2. This recipe serves 2. If desired the flavors of Moroccan cuisine, check out another book: Mediterranean Cooking by Matthew
  3. 1. Heat a nonstick saucepan. Cut chicken into bite-sized pcs. Add in oil to pan. Saute/fry chicken. While chicken browns, chop onion in food processor.
  4. Add in onion to the pan and cook briefly. Add in the cumin, ginger, paprika and a healthy pinch of cayenne. Cook, stirring, till aromatic. Add in broth, stir and bring just to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for a few min while you prepare the next vegetable.
  5. 2. Wash the zucchini. Trim the ends. Slice lengthwise; then slice half-circles 1/4-inch thick. Add in to the stew. Bring to a boil; add in the garbanzos. Reduce heat to simmer uncovered. Cook for about 4 min. Add in the cooked rice and heat through: 1- 2 min. Taste and add in salt, pepper(s) and cilantro. Thicken if needed with a slurry of cornstarch and water. Serve with a dab or possibly two of lemon curd and optional slice of bread.
  6. Serves 2 generously.
  7. RECIPE VARIATIONS: Instead of pasta (1/4 c. instant couscous) we used leftover brown basmati rice. Instead of grnd ginger, we pureed fresh. We also used less chicken than he suggested 6 instead of 9 ounces). Our version was thick sufficient to be called a stew and we added the lemon curd condiment.
  8. NOTES : The brown basmati rice added a nuttiness. The lemon curd was a like ....putting a Hershey's kiss in a brown bag lunch!
