Description
This chicken and merguez couscous is a family-friendly and convivial dish, perfect for large gatherings. I love preparing this dish because it is both flavorful and comforting, especially during the autumn and winter months. The couscous spices and ras el-hanout bring incredible warmth and depth of flavor. The combination of tender chicken and slightly spicy merguez is a real delight. Feel free to adjust the amount of harissa according to your taste for spiciness. A complete and fragrant dish that will delight your guests!
