Peel, wash and cut the carrots into pieces. Peel and finely dice onions and garlic. Dab meat dry and cut into bite-sized cubes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a roasting or casserole dish. Brown the meat in 2-3 portions all around and take it out. After the last portion of meat, fry the carrots, onions and garlic in hot frying fat.
Add meat again. Season with salt and pepper.
Add wine and about 3/4 l water, bring to the boil. Cover and braise over medium heat for about 1 1/2-1 3/4 hours until the meat almost falls apart. Chop the apricots finely, add them about 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
In the meantime boil 1/4 l water with approx. 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in 1 tablespoon of oil and couscous. Remove from heat and let it swell covered for about 8 minutes. Wash parsley, shake dry, pluck off leaves and chop finely.
Loosen the couscous with a fork and stir in the parsley.
Clean and wash spring onions and cut into thin rings. Add to the goulash and braise for 1-2 minutes. Season goulash with salt, pepper, cinnamon and paprika and serve with parsley couscous.
