• In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook garlic paste and carrot, stirring, until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. • Add the water, butter, currants (see ingredients) and chicken-style stock powder and bring to the boil. • Add wholemeal couscous.

• While couscous is cooking, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. • When oil is hot, cook chicken until browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 3-4 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • While chicken is cooking, fluff up cooked couscous with a fork. Season to taste.

TIP: The spice blend will char slightly in the pan. This adds to the flavour!
