Backstory
For my Moroccan Chicken Stew, I love how the combining of spices can evoke images of an exotic location. Experimenting with new spices along with old “tried and true” ones is a delight and sometimes a learning experience. When this stew was simmering on the stove, my son walked in and said, “Smells like Turkish Market in here!” (I guess I got the spices right!!) My family never knows what new creation I’ll come up with in the kitchen, but they are always good sports about trying each dish.
