We made this as accompaniment to Bobby's "Chicken and Chickpea Tagine with Apricots and Harissa Sauce". The only changes I made were using Israeli couscous and using chicken stock in place of water. <br /> <br />You taste every layer of flavour in this dish. I was tempted to skip the currants, but in the end, glad I didn't. Everything added to this.
