Author Notes

This stew is so incredibly delicious, if I do say so myself! The flavours are warm, balanced sweet and slightly sour, savoury and really moreish! By using a rotisserie chicken, it was fast and easy too. I served it with some cous cous to which I added chickpeas and sultanas. —Becky Gilhespie
