Chicken Tagine

- Roughly chop the whole lemon and parsley and add to the tagine
- Add the olives and a pinch of salt and pepper and place in the pre-heated oven for 20 minutes (or until chicken is fully cooked)
Lemon Cous Cous
- Place the cous cous into a bowl along with the turmeric and salt and pepper

- Cover the cous cous evenly with the freshly boiled water from a kettle and cover with a plate and leave for 3 minutes
