I love this dish. I've made it several times. If you have a Trader Joe's in your neighborhood, they sell frozen Nan bread. Great warmed up along side the stew. They also have unsweetened mint green tea. (refridgerated near the smoothies and fresh o.j.) Also good with this Moroccan themed dinner.06/15/09
