To make... Serves 4-6

1. Preheat the oven to 160/140 (fan) 2. Heat the oil in the casserole pan and fry the onions for 5 minutes. Add the chicken

chunks to brown them all over 3. Stir in the garlic, ginger, turmeric and paprika. Season the chicken generously with

freshly milled salt and black pepper. Give everything a good stir 4. Add the sliced peppers, preserved lemons and apricots. Pour in the hot chicken stock 5. Cover the casserole with a lid and bake in the oven for 1 hour & 20 minutes. Give it a

good stir a few times while it is cooking 6. Cook the rice with the stock cube and boiling water. Bring to the boil, put the lid on

and reduce the heat until low or until the water has been absorbed. Leave to rest 7. Remove the casserole from the oven, stir in the fresh parsley and leave to rest for 5

minutes 8. I like to serve the casserole in the middle of the table with the rice in a bowl, scattered with a little parsley, a small plate of pomegranate seeds and a plate of

toasted flaked almonds so everyone can serve themselves 9. Serve immediately!
