    • How To Cook:
    1. Cut the chicken into small chunks.

    2. Put all the ingredients except the cuscus, half the butter and the sugar in a deep saucepan with 1 pint water and boil for about ½ hour.

    3. Then put a steamer lined with muslin on the top of the cooking pan and fill with the cuscus.

    4. Let this steam for ¼ hour, then take it off and leave it to dry in another dish for ¼ hour.

    8. Cover with the remaining cuscus and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
