This recipe was easy to make, tasted great (better the next day). I did add a bay leaf, cinnamon stick, 4 whole cloves and some raisins. Great meal for company, served with Greek yoghurt, chutney and rice. Great for freezing for another meal too! Thanks for posting...

Delicious. Made this just as the recipe calls for and it was perfect. This is a great, one skillet meal that will be a regular in our household.
