Top tips!
If you have a slow cooker- you can put all ingredients in there together (excluding the cous cous) with an additional 150mls water. Cook for 2 hours. If the sauce becomes too thick when cooking, add some more water - it's important that it cooked for long enough to really soften the apricot.
Swap this for that!
Would be delicious with slow-cooked diced lamb for non-veggies
