Steps

1

In a large pot, add the chicken, onion, soaked chickpeas, chopped tomato, cinnamon stick, salt, saffron, and oil. Let them cook together, then add paprika, black pepper, ginger, turmeric, and tomato paste.
2

Fill the pot with water and place a steamer basket (couscoussier) on top. In a large bowl, mix the couscous with 3 tablespoons oil, rub it well, sprinkle with water, and steam it three times. On the last steaming, add a little salt. Remove the couscous from the steamer and steam the raisins.
3

Once the raisins are steamed, place them in a small saucepan and add a little of the sauce from the chicken. To serve, toss the couscous with a little clarified butter, place it on a serving dish, pour some sauce over it, and garnish with the chickpeas and raisins. Enjoy!
