Jottage from Lancaster - Chicken, Couscous, Honey and Cinammon

We have been out for a day's caching in the Lake District - tackling some of the country's worst bits of road all in the cause of finding a Tupperware box under a stone in some remote location. The weather was supposed to be awful today, but when we woke up to sunshine and blue sky it seemed too good to stay in.


Although we didn't actually walk very far today. It ended up very blustery and, for a while, very rainy, so when we got home lighting the fire was priority. I had been wanting to make Chicken, Couscous, Honey and Cinnamon for ages and as we had a roast chicken last night, with some left overs, tonight was definitely the night for it. I thought it would be a complicated recipe, but it's been very simple. Here is the couscous swelling up on the stove...

Coucous 'cooking'

The 10 minutes while the couscous practically cooks itself is just enough time to pull some nice bits of chicken from the carcass and chop up the nuts. Drop both these into the pan and it's done!


What I ended up with was something slightly sweet, slightly tangy, and very scrumptious. Hugh suggests that it's a nice change from a chicken sandwich, and it would make a lovely picnic lunch. I have enough left for tomorrow and I'm already looking forward to eating it again.

Ready to eat!
