Vegetable broth is lower in calories, and bouillon is a cost-effective alternative.

Spray a large pan with oil and cook the onion, ginger and chicken for 5 minutes.

Add the ras el hanout, lentils and stock, then bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the halved apricots to the pan and simmer for a further 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is tender.

Meanwhile, place the couscous in a large bowl. Add the 300ml boiling water, cover and set aside for 6-10 minutes until the water has been absorbed.

Season the tagine with a little lemon juice and scatter over the pomegranate seeds and coriander. Serve with the couscous.
