    Love the show and I'm glad I'm on holidays so that I can watch it. I was happy I wrote the recipe down on paper while watching, as all the ingredients are not shown in your recipe above. Some people would be confused with the method also, if they are not use to cooking some of these recipes. You have not separated the method and ingredients to the couscous!! Could be disaster for some!

    Would you please supply recipe from show 28/12/11. This recipe is very different to the show. No passata, no mention of how he did the couscous, no dates, no prunes etc etc

      Hi Lyndell4. I have just cooked this recipe. With the couscous it's 1 x cup couscous, 1 cup chicken stock (hot), currents, pine nuts (I would roast these first) and 1 Tablespoon olive oil. Mix all together and cover. Add the following the the recipe above. 1 Tbs Turmeric grated (I couldn't buy fresh, so I used dried), 1 tomato diced, 1 T tomato paste, handful prunes, dried dates, orange peel, juice 1/2 orange, 1 carrot sliced. I used sliced chicken breast filets and 1 cup chicken stock and simmered for 25 minutes. YUM!! If you like couscous, you can add, roasted sweet potato, some lemon juice and freshly chopped mint and extra currents. Good luck! Jen

    On the show I have just watched, Adrian used Tomatoes in this dish, yet they are missing here. Should tomatoes be used and if so what quantity? Mike
