Easy and Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I printed this recipe out five years ago and just found it. Looking for something easy to make, so I decided to give it a... try. Changed it slightly, left the skin on the thighs, seasoned with salt and pepper and then broiled them to brown instead of frying. I didn't have red onions so I used yellow. My tomato puree had salt in it, so I omitted the salt in the recipe and seasoned to taste at the end. Accidentally added twice as much cayenne, but since my family likes spicy, it was great. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly, and then served it over couscous. My family absolutely loved it and is begging me to make it again soon. Don't know what the bad reviews are about. I have had authentic Moroccan cuisine before, and this is an easy, delicious version that unfussy eaters will love.Read more
