Steps:
- Heat 1 tbsp of the coconut oil in a large flameproof casserole dish over a medium heat. When melted and hot, add the onion, pepper and garlic. Cook, stirring regularly, for 3 -4 mins or until just starting to soften. Increase the heat to maximum and add the chicken thighs. Fry everything together for about 3 mins, stirring occasionally.
- Sprinkle in the spices, squeeze in the tomato purée and fry, stirring almost constantly, for 1 min. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and partially cover with a lid. After 30 mins, add the dried apricots and chickpeas, and continue to simmer for a further 10 mins.
- While the tagine is bubbling away, heat the remaining 1/ 2 tbsp of coconut oil in a frying pan over a high heat. When melted, add the cumin seeds, toast for 10 secs, then add the shredded sprouts. Fry the sprouts over the high heat, stirring almost constantly, for 5 mins, by which time they should have softened and browned in places.
- Serve the tagine in a large bowl, scatter over the fried sprouts, crumble over the feta and finish with the coriander.

CHICKEN TAGINE
Chicken tagine is a classic Moroccan dish made in a special pot called a tagine and usually features preserved lemons and olives. This recipe uses lots of the warm spices and harissa that are authentic to Morocco, but it is cooked in a skillet. The substitution of fresh lemons makes this practical for a weeknight without a trip to the market or online.

- Mix 1 tablespoon of the hot sauce and 1 tablespoon of the honey together in a small bowl and set aside.
- Whisk the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil, remaining 2 tablespoons hot sauce, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper together in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss until combined.

SPICY CHICKEN TAGINE WITH APRICOTS, ROSEMARY, AND GINGER
From the book Tagine: Spicy Stews from Morocco. This tagine is both fruity and spicy, though not too hot. The ginger and rosemary give a wonderful aroma! It can be made with chicken pieces, (I use boneless skinless breasts) pheasant or duck. Serves well with a buttery couscous and a leafy salad.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. The bones and skin add richness and depth of flavor to the dish.
- If you don't have harissa, you can substitute another North African spice blend, such as ras el hanout or dukkah.
- If you don't have a tagine, you can cook the chicken and vegetables in a large pot or Dutch oven.
- To make the dish ahead of time, cook the chicken and vegetables according to the recipe and then let cool. Store the chicken and vegetables separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the chicken and vegetables in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until warmed through.
