#203 : Cous-cous with Chicken in tomato sauce: recipe #141


We went grocery shopping at the Supa Save the other day and I bought a box of cous-cous. I have never bought cous-cous before, so I followed the instruction on the packet carefully: Heat butter, add couscous and stir to coat, add stock, bring to a boil, reduce heat to lowest setting, cover and cook. I replaced the butter with extra virgin olive oil and used water and chicken stock instead of stock instead. I cooked the chicken according to the recipe below. My hubby, Auni and I loved it. Dayini refused to eat it, instead she ate the chicken with rice. Similar to cheese and tempe, Cous-Cous taste must be acquired before you loved it. I am a very adventurous when it comes to food as long as the food is of a plant origin. I cannot picture myself eating ostrich or shark. Anyway, heres the recipe for the chicken sauce.

Ingredients
300g boneless chicken pieces - cut into small pieces
2 small cans tomato sauce ( up to you)
garlic-chopped
onion-chopped
extra virgin olive oil
salt
black pepper
cinnamon powder
nutmeg powder
Italian herbs (dry).

steps:
Heat oil in wok
add in the garlic and onion and fry till fragrant
add in the chicken , cover the wok, till chicken juice came out
add in the sauce and the rest of the ingredients.
simmer for about 15-20 minutes
adjust seasoning and dish up
