Sounds good , but with a bit of tweaking it can be better.


Seeing the recipe I would:

omit cumin, the morrocan rub has cumin in it.

will not fry the feta

will toss cous-cous over fried onions, beets and olives --season.

Will add a bit of chick pea on the chicken and simmer until the sauce thicken.

Serve on cous-cous garnish with chopped parsley and crumbled feta.
