This recipe contains milk and nuts. We made it in a busy working kitchen
so it may also contain traces of sesame. WARNING: Although we do our very best to take out all the bones from the chicken and the stones from the apricots and olives, some may remain.
Here’s a dish that’s fabulous with our Moroccan Chicken.
(Serves 2)
150g fine green beans
410g can chickpeas
4 tbsp olive oil
