Amazing. With a little TLC this recipe makes my friends go nuts!! -
We had this the other night - served it over rice. We liked it, it was a little too "lemony" for me, but it was still tasty. -
I am going to make this and I can transfer it to Morocco using some tomato concentrate and a bit of water in place of canned tomatoes. Also just an FYI, Palm/dende oil is available at Wild oats also. I will star this once I make it.Sounds YUMMMM! -
We thought this was wonderful!!
