This is delicious, as well as being easy to prepare. My whole family liked it (teenagers), and I think it is good enough to prepare for company. I threw in some golden raisins before I realized that I had prunes. I may leave out the prunes next time and just use raisins. I served it with garlic and herb couscous (from a box). This is a winner!
