Steps:
- Toast the couscous in a saucepan over medium heat until evenly golden, being careful not to burn it. Add 1 cup (250ml) water and a pinch of salt and cook until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook until almost crispy, about 3 minutes. Add the shallot and cook until soft. Stir in the garlic and preserved lemon peel.
- Stir the couscous into the chorizo mixture. Just before serving, drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Stir in the chives and parsley and season with salt and pepper.
- Preserved Lemons:.
- Wash the lemons very well. Cut each lemon lengthwise in quarters without slicing all the way through, leaving the lemons whole. Place the lemons in a sterilized jar. Add the salt, lemon juice, peppercorns and kaffir lime leaves and mix well. Add more lemon juice if needed to just cover the lemons. Close with a lid and refrigerate. Stir the lemons every day or two to help dissolve the salt. Allow the lemons to cure for at least 1 week. Rinse under cold water before using.

Steps:
- If the couscous is instant, follow the instructions on the packet.
- For non-instant couscous, place the couscous into a large bowl. Fill a stock pot or large pasta pot 3/4 of the way with water. Bring water to a boil. Pour the couscous into the boiling water and stir. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes until the couscous is tender. Drain the couscous and toss in preserved lemon and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
- Quick preserved lemon: Slice 2 lemons into 1/4-inch slices, lay out on a plate and salt on 1 side. Turn over and salt the other. Stack on top of themselves and let sit for 20 minutes in a baking dish. Rinse gently with cold water and dice into 1/2-inch pieces.
COUSCOUS SALAD WITH DRIED APRICOTS AND PRESERVED LEMON
While summer is still with us, you can serve any vegetable-laden dishes you've been enjoying all season alongside your meat. Or for something different, I offer a couscous and dried apricot salad dressed with preserved lemon and plenty of herbs. If you can't find any preserved lemons, and can spare a few weeks, here's a recipe to make them yourself.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add couscous and cook until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain.
- Meanwhile, in a small dry skillet, toast cumin seeds until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Lightly crush them using a mortar and a pestle (or use the flat side of a heavy knife and a cutting board). Add to a bowl with the warm couscous, vinegar, salt and pepper and toss well. When the couscous is cool, add remaining ingredients and mix well. Taste and add more salt, lemon juice or oil if needed. Garnish with pistachio nuts if desired.

MOROCCAN CHICKEN WITH PRESERVED LEMONS AND COUSCOUS
One glance at the ingredients for this recipe and I knew it was, for me, a must-try recipe. I also loved the inclusion of time for marinating the chicken. Marinating always makes SUCH a difference to the end result. I'll be making this without the red chilli, but I'm well aware that many others will probably want to increase the heat. C'est la vie! I'd also prefer to serve it with a rice dish rather than couscous. I found this recipe in the latest edition - May 2005 - of the 'Australian Good Taste' magazine.

Steps:
- For the dough, put the flour, paprika, yeast, oil, 300ml lukewarm water and a large pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix into a soft, slightly wet dough. Knead in a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook or by hand for 10 mins until smooth (it will still be quite soft). Tip into an oiled bowl, cover and leave to rise for 2 hrs.
- Meanwhile, make the filling. Fry the chorizo in a large saucepan over a medium heat for 2 mins until some of its oils have been released. Add the garlic and continue to fry for 30 seconds. Add the passata, sugar, vinegar and preserved lemons, and simmer for 5 mins until thick. Stir in the basil and rocket. Leave to cool.
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 with a baking sheet inside. Divide the dough into four pieces, then roll each out on a lightly dusted surface to a thin 30cm circle. Lay each circle on a square of baking parchment dusted with semolina. Spread the cooled filling over half of each circle, leaving a border, then top with some of the mozzarella. Brush around the edge of each circle with a little water. Working with one circle at a time, fold one half over the other so the filling is enclosed, then crimp the edge to seal. The calzones can now be frozen for up to three months (see below). Lift the calzones on the parchment squares onto the hot baking sheet in the oven, sprinkle the parmesan on top, and bake for 15-20 mins until puffed up and golden brown.
