    I made this recipe for a neighborhood get-together this past weekend and it was fabulous. I did as others and made the Harissa from the recipe in my Joy of Cooking cookbook since I couldn't find it locally. I followed the recipe as given and it was delicious! I loved all the different tastes and textures of the olives, plums, almonds, etc., the meat was very moist and tender, and the spices gave it a great flavor. Someone commented on the amount of oil, but it didn't taste oily at all. I'm a big fan of olive oil and it's healthy for you as well. I'll definitely be making this again!

    Not as good as I thought it would be, but my family loves stews and anything else that is hardy so they liked it. It was more soupy than I expected it to be. I also added potatoes to mine and that turned out nicely. I used chicken breast instead because that's what I had. It is a really healthy and veggie filled dish, despite what others have said and you can always omit the almonds or use chicken breasts if you are health conscious. Save your energy for Paula Dean or someone else when it comes to fattening meals. Also the "CA lifestyle" one? HA. Look around you, there are plenty of obese people in California and there are plenty of people in California with plenty of different lifestyles.

    I was so impressed with this recipe. The ease of preparation and the flavors made it a definite must for the entertaining recipe category. I could not find harissa, but followed others recomendations and made my own.

    I have never eaten Moroccan food before and if this dish is any indication, I wasted a lot of time. My husband "claims" he doesn't like chicken on the bone, but after I saw this on tv I had to try it. He absolutely loved it, and so did I. I don't have a dutch oven so just used an All-Clad pot and it seemed to work well. Looking forward to more wonderful dishes from Amy.

    I've never watched this show before and I've never tried an online recipe before. Dont know what inspired me, but this was fabulous! The flavors go so well together and the chicken really just fell off the bone. I love it.(I did leave out the final olive oil/almond step since it seemed a bit much.

    I used chicken breasts instead of thighs to reduce fat. Be sure to increase the liquid amounts accordingly if you add more meat. I'm on Weight Watchers and was hesitant to do the almonds in oil but I'm SO GLAD I DID!! It was the perfect finishing touch. Can't wait to make it again. I may do it in the crock pot next time since others have had good luck with that. :

    This recipe was fabulous, but a little mild for us. We really love spices so the next time I make it I will increase all the spices. I also had trouble finding harissa, but will check World Market on the way home tonight (thanks for the suggestion. I'd also increase the amount of chicken since 4 thighs isn't enough for my family of 4. We thought it would also be good with pork.
