Morrocan Chicken Stew with Cous-Cous

This recipe is perfect for a cold winter night. The warm spices of south France and Spain combine to flavor this slow cooking dish. If you don’t have any spices from a Provençal market, my Moroccan Seasoning recipe is a very solid stand-in. This recipe contains no definite quantities; use it as a basic map and improvise (as I did) to create your own version of this delicious dish. Special Equipment Large, heavy bottom stew pot Ingredients Chicken thighs; bone in, skin removed Dried apricots White mushrooms Onion Peppers Potatoes Moroccan Seasoning Salt to taste Chicken (or other) stock Cous-Cous Brown sugar Preparation Chop vegetables, add to pot....

Bucking tradition, we first make the sauce and then dredge and brown the chicken. Mushrooms, peppers, shallots, garlic, and capers make for a flavorful sauce, finished with butter for silky texture and parsley for freshness....
