Chermoula Spice Blend
Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Cut carrot and courgette into large chunks. Halve pitted dates (see ingredients). Cut red onion into wedges. Finely chop garlic. Zest lemon to get a generous pinch, then cut into wedges.
In a medium bowl, combine chermoula and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken and toss to coat. In a large ovenproof saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, sear chicken and onion, tossing, until slightly browned, 1-2 minutes each side. Reduce heat to medium, then stir in lemon zest, tomato paste, and 1/2 the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute
Stir in carrot, courgette, dates, the water and 1/2 the chicken-style stock powder. Season with salt and pepper.
Cover saucepan with a lid (or cover tightly with foil), then transfer to the oven. Bake until chicken is tender, 40-50 minutes. Remove tagine from oven, then gently stir in baby spinach leaves until wilted. TIP: If you don't have an ovenproof saucepan, transfer mixture to a baking dish instead! TIP: Add a splash of water if the tagine looks too thick.
When the tagine has 10 minutes remaining, boil the kettle. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Cook remaining garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the boiling water (3/4 cup for 2 people / 1 1/2 cups for 4 people) and remaining stock powder. Add couscous and stir to combine. Cover with a lid and remove from heat. Set aside until the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with fork.
While the couscous is cooking, combine Greek style yoghurt and a squeeze of lemon juice in a small bowl. Season to taste. Divide garlicky couscous between bowls. Top with Moroccan chicken and veggie tagine. Serve with lemon yoghurt and any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
