  • 1 c dark raisins .
  • 1 c onions, sliced in half moons .
  • 1 tsp turmeric .

  • Step #7 Servings depend upon the amount of couscous used.
  • Step #8 For 5-8 people I used 1kg.
  • Step #9 If your chicken is falling off the bone as it should be, then with the other ingredients this should heartily serve 6-8.
  • Step #10 We don't take 1/2 a chicken leg quarter for one person but rather small pieces of meat along with the other ingredients & the couscous.
