If you like spicy food, harissa is for you. This chicken is ready to grill after one hour, but the longer you let it marinate the more flavorful it will be. A dollop of yogurt or sour cream garnishes this dish perfectly.

ingredients
Skewers
Couscous
directions
Combine olive oil with garlic, tomato paste, cayenne, caraway, coriander and cumin and salt in a small bowl. Slice chicken into bite-sized cubes (about 1 ½-inch) and place in a large bowl. Add spice mixture to chicken and stir to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour or overnight.
Soak skewers in water for 30 min. Thread 4-6 pieces of chicken onto each skewer. Preheat bbq or grill pan to medium high. Cook skewers until grill marks appear and chicken is no longer pink, 4 to 5 min per side. Serve with couscous.
Bring 1 ¼ cup water, salt and cumin seeds to a boil in a medium pot. Stir in couscous and remove from heat. Cover and let sit for 5 min. Fluff with a fork and stir in butter and cilantro.
