Bored with Butties phase 26 (reposted)

This is one I knocked up the other day, when everyone else seemed to have gone home (or to the pub) to watch a rather tedious game of football. A much better plan I thought was to make a nice lunch on a lovely afternoon, which realistically would take too long to do in a standard lunch hour. So, how about doing the Moroccan delight of quails slowly cooked in a tagine 
Quails, herbs & spices, tomatoes, chickpeas, onion & dried apricots (could be prunes
)
Take the quails into the gents toilet and wash thoroughly. This may cause a puzzled look from anyone still at work
Ginger, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, chilli flakes and garlic
Chop half an onion and some parsley & coriander
Set fire to some charcoal in a brazier. The lingerie department at Marks & Spencer is not the place to go for a brazier
Put the quails into the tagine.
Scatter over the onion....
....and herbs & spices. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Cook for a few minutes....
....then mix and add some stock, tomatoes, chickpeas & apricots.
An hour later....
....get ready with the cous cous....
....this is looking good....
....sprinkle with flaked almonds and sesame seeds....
...serve with chopped fresh parsley & coriander leaves, and cous cous.
Now isn’t that better than watching England vs Slovenia?
There’s just one thing – the wish-bones aren’t worth the effort
