My3Chefs2008 This is very good. I was unsure of the raisin,tomatoe, and vinegar mixture but it came out sweet and savory in different bites. I liked that difference in the meal. Next time I would reduce the cumin as I tasted that hiding throughout, add more root veggies for color and texture. This is a keeper and I love that it has lots ofgarlic. yum
