Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 small onion, chopped fine
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup water
3 chicken wings, tips discarded and the wings halved at the joint
1/4 pound kielbasa, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 carrot, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 turnip, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
a 3-inch cinnamon stick
1/2 bay leaf
1/2 cup canned chick-peas, rinsed well and drained
3/4 cup couscous

Steps:

  • In a heavy saucepan cook the onion in 1 tablespoon of the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is softened, add the turmeric and the red pepper flakes, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste, the broth, the water, the chicken, the kielbasa, the carrot, the turnip, the cinnamon stick, and the bay leaf and simmer the mixture, covered for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Add the chick-peas and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes.
  • Strain 1 cup of the cooking liquid into a small saucepan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir in the couscous, remove the pan from the heat, and let the mixture stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the couscous with a fork, divide it between 2 plates, and make a well in the center of each serving. Transfer the meat and vegetables with a slotted spoon to the wells and serve the remaining cooking broth separately to moisten the dish as desired.

Overall, this recipe was good. I would make it again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less oil and I would add some more vegetables.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my couscous turned out mushy. I think I added too much water.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sausage and couscous were good.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and herbs to give it more flavor.

I'm not a big fan of couscous, but this recipe changed my mind. The couscous was cooked perfectly and it absorbed all the flavors of the chicken and sausage. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken and sausage. I had some leftover from a rotisserie chicken and some Italian sausage, and this was the perfect way to use them up. The dish was flavorful and easy to make.

This dish was a hit with my family! The chicken and sausage were cooked perfectly and the couscous was fluffy and flavorful. I especially loved the addition of the sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts.
