Preparation
1
Prep Your Veg

  • Halve and peel the onion. Chop half into small pieces (double for 4p).
  • Roughly chop the spinach.
  • Drain and rinse the lentils in a sieve.

2
Make the Couscous

  • Dilute the stock powder in 200ml boiling water (500ml for 4p).
  • Add the couscous to a bowl.
  • Pour the stock into the bowl, cover with a plate or cling film and leave aside for 10 mins or until ready to serve.

3
Fry the Onion

  • Meanwhile, place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, fry the onion until softened, stirring occasionally, 3-4 mins.

4
Cook the Chicken

  • Add the chicken to the pan. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Season with salt and pepper then fry until golden brown, 3-4 mins.

TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to vacuum packing we use to keep it fresh. It will still taste delicious once cooked!

5
Add Some Spice

  • Add the harissagaram masala, tomato paste, lentils and 150ml water (double for 4p) to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and ½ tsp sugar (double for 4p).
  • Simmer until thickened, 8-10 mins.
  • Stir through the spinach and cook until wilted, 1-2 mins. Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.

TIP: Loosen the lentil mixture with a splash of water if you feel it's too thick.

6
Finish and Serve

  • Fluff up the couscous with a fork and stir through pine nuts.
  • Divide the couscous between bowls.
  • Serve the chicken and spinach lentils alongside.
