Steps:
- Arrange chicken on rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle each side of each piece with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight.

Transfer chicken to heavy roasting pan, skin side up. Add carrots, shallots, garlic, 1 teaspoon thyme, lemon peel, ras-el-hanout, chicken broth, white wine, and remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil to skillet. Bring to boil, whisking up brown bits.

Place cooked couscous on large plate. Top with chicken, vegetables, and figs. Spoon sauce over chicken and figs. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
RAS EL-HANOUT, MOROCCAN SPICED CHICKEN
This recipe appeared in a local food magazine called MIX. It was simple to prepare, but wonderfully different. The spices blend together during cooking to make a wonderfully rich and deep flavor. The dutch oven cooking produces a tender, falling-off-the-bone chicken. This recipe would originally be prepared in an earthenware cooking vessel, called a Tagine, which has a conical lid. I'm sure most of us don't have one lurking in our cupboards, but the results from a Dutch Oven are wonderful. Served with some steamed rice, the little ones were asking for seconds and the adults were asking for thirds.

Steps:
- To make the Ras al-hanout spice mixture: Combine the cinnamon, turmeric, black pepper, nutmeg, cardamom and cloves in a small bowl.
- Thoroughly pat the chicken dry and dredge in the ras al-hanout spices until pieces are nicely covered but not over-loaded. Place in a bowl or large dish and scatter thyme and garlic over the chicken. Pour 1/2 C olive oil over and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight if possible, or several hours.
- Remove marinated chicken and place on counter for 30 minutes. Heat 1 T. olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the dish, keeping the marinade, and brown chicken on all sides in the hot oil. (Do not rush this as the browning will help keep the chicken from feeling "dusty" from the spice mix covering it. This is also why you do not want to over-load the chicken with the spice mix.)
- Set the chicken aside and add the onion to the Dutch oven, cook until translucent.
- Return the chicken to the Dutch oven, adding the lemon and the reserved marinade. Sprinkle generously with salt. Add enough broth to almost cover the chicken, bring to a simmer, cover and cook until the chicken has begun to pull away from the bones and is quite tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Remove the lid the last 15 minutes of cooking time to reduce the broth. If it needs to reduce further, remove the chicken and boil the broth until nicely reduced to approximately 2 cups, but you can reduce it less if you want more sauce. You can thicken the sauce with cornstarch mixed with water.
- Serve with white rice or other grain of choice.

RAS EL HANOUT COUSCOUS
Cooking time assumes boiled couscous. Steamed is better, but takes longer. Having bought Ras el Hanout specifcally because I didn't know what it was or what to use it for, once I realised it was a Moroccan spice mix it naturally had to be tried with couscous and dried fruits. I could add tomatoes, garlic, lemon etc but I don't want to mask the blend of sesame seed oil and spice mix.

Steps:
- Place the couscous in a bowl, pour in the sesame seed oil and Ras el Hanout. Stir well by hand until all grains are coated in oil - this will help prevent the couscous from clumping.
- If you have the time, steam the couscous as this will further reduce clumping and improve the consistency of the grains. Towards the end of the steaming, add the raisins to the boiling water to soak.
- If cooking the couscous by boiling, then pour boiled chicken stock into the bowl, sufficient to cover the grains + 1cm. Add the raisins at this stage and stir. Cover the bowl to keep the steam inches Wait 5 minutes and stir with a fork to loosen the grains.
- Once the couscous is cooked and cooled, stir in the remaining ingredients except the Sumac and enough of the coriander to garnish.
- Garnish with sprinkled sumac and finely chopped coriander.
