About

Harissa is a delicious North African spice paste—sold in cans everywhere you can buy Middle Eastern ingredients—hot but not fiery. It keeps nearly forever. This is a solid one-pot meal, and an impressive one as well.

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into ½- to 1-inch dice
1 teaspoon cumin

Main course

Method

Toss the chicken with the cumin, cardamom, and salt and pepper to taste and let sit while you prepare the couscous.
