Special instructions

  • this is a delicious quick well spiced meal, served on rice and extra bread for wiping up the lasts of the sauce. origionally cooked in a tangine, but can be made just as tasty in a lidded pot. you can use any type of green olive, but i found canned green pitted are the easiest and tastiest.
