Moroccan Jewish Tanzeya image

This spiced chutney made with dried fruit like prunes, apricots, figs and raisins comes from Leetal and Ron Arazi, owners of New York Shuk, a food company specializing in Sephardic and Middle Eastern Jewish cuisines. It's delicious served with chicken, beef or lamb, like the Arazis' lamb shanks with caramelized onions.
