I bought some [[Ras el hanout|ras el hanout]] (couscous spice) from Birgit at [[The Spice Shop]] and have been messing about for ages finding recipes to use it in. It's a wonderful warm spicy mix, reminiscent of Arabian cuisine. I notice that Bart's [[Spices]] now produce one, but I doubt if it'll be as good as Birgit's!

This recipe is my variation on the [[Ras el hanout chicken (1)|original recipe]], tailored to my taste and using ingredients available at the time. I can't help meddling with recipes!
