Steps

1

Moisten the couscous with a little water and let it absorb.
2

After about 10 minutes, fluff the couscous with your hands, then steam it in a couscous steamer (couscoussier) over boiling water.
3

Once steamed, remove from heat, moisten it again, let it absorb, then return it to the steamer. After the second steaming, remove and mix with oil or butter. Set aside.
4

For the sauce, place the chicken pieces in a pot. Add finely chopped onion, oil, spices, and salt. Sauté everything together, then add the chickpeas. Add water, bring to a simmer, and cook until the chicken is almost done. Add the turnips or zucchini and continue cooking until everything is tender.
5

Serve the couscous topped with the sauce.

You can also serve it with yogurt.
