Preheat the oven to 200ÂșC, gas mark 6. Rinse the rice, then soak in a bowl of cold water until needed. Put the butter in a wide, shallow casserole dish (or roasting tin) and melt in the oven for 1 minute. Add the onion and garlic to the dish, then cook for 4 minutes, until slightly softened. Meanwhile, put the chicken chunks in a bowl, rub in the ras el hanout and season.
Add the dates and spices to the onion mixture. Drain the rice and add to the dish, stirring to coat in the butter and spices; add the stock. Cover with foil or a lid and bake for 30 minutes, then use a fork to fluff up the rice. Stir through the spinach, then nestle the chicken into the rice and cook, uncovered, for a further 10 minutes until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through, no pink meat remains and the juices run clear
Cover with the foil again and stand for 5-10 minutes before serving with a scattering of dill and lemon wedges for squeezing.
Simple swapsÂ
Make it vegetarian
