This Moroccan style dipping sauce is delicious on anything from traditional Moroccan food to grilled chicken, shrimp, or steak. Perfect with Moroccan Chicken Bundles. It would also be a good accompaniment to many of the purhcased (frozen) appetizers such as chicken fingers, cheese sticks etc. Found on another site, but was originally from Gourmet magazine.
