MOROCCAN JEWISH TANZEYA

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.
