Heat a casserole dish over a medium heat with the vegetable oil. Season the chicken thighs well, and add to the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning, until well browned. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft.
Stir in the spices and cook for 1 minute before adding the preserved lemon, chopped tomatoes and ½ a tin of water. Simmer gently for 15 minutes.
Stir in the quinoa, dried apricots and 500ml of water, and cook for 25 minutes, stirring regularly, until the quinoa is cooked. Serve scattered with the almonds and parsley.
