Your welcome.  I mean just a dash of oil in the cous cous.

Cous cous al maghribi:

You will need:
oil (either groundnut or olive oil for this dish)
Little salt
knorr chicken cubes (about five or six)
some chicken leg pieces
one whole bulb of garlic ie about nine or ten cloves
one onion
black pepper
one or two if you wish of hot peppers
three carrots
two potatoes
one small can tomatoe paste or about three tablespoons of it.
one can of chick peas (aka garbanzo beans)
One Zucchini aka a courgette(optional)

Wash and season the chicken with maggi/knorr chicken
meanwhile peel the carrots and potatoes and slice the potatoes in four quarters
chopp carrots (in whatever style you like I like to slice it across half way, then down and down again (put aside)
heat little oil in a pot
chopp and add onion to the hot oil
chop garlic and add
brown them for about a minute then add the chicken and brown that a little too for a few minutes
add some salt
some black pepper and hot peper (or hot chilli powder 1 tablespoon)
then add in the tomatoe paste mix it around so that the chicken has paste on it.
now you add water (fill the pot up with half water so that there will be enough for vegetables to cook in.
Now put the vegetables in.
meanwhile leave it to boil for half an hour ( make sure to stir it occasionally though)
it should thicken and look more stew like over time
now, after that half hour add one can chick peas
add the courgette (optional)
leave it to cook for another twenty mins.
*note This stew sauce is not supposed to be very thick and sharp like regular groundnut stew.
You can decide on your own consistency by adding or removing water, but the arabic way is that the sauce is sort of light and little bit runny becuase cous cous is dry and it kind of absorbs the sauce itself while you are eating it.

Make your cous cous and pour your stew over it.
You can also make this dish with lamb
or you can just use some curry powder insted of tomatoe paste.

Biko people tell me what couscous is so I can try it too I gett the other ingredients but I have no clue of what couscous is
