I recently purchased your Cook'n Recipe Software and love it! I have tried several other cookbook programs but found them unsatisfactory.

My main goal was to put my own recipes into a system that was easy and quick. I have put in about 20 so far, and I love it. It is so easy to use.

I have tried several of your recipes and they all have been wonderful!

Thank you!!

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spread the almonds on a pie plate and toast in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Rinse the chicken thighs and pat dry with paper towels.

In a large Dutch oven or heavy flameproof casserole, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat until almost smoking. Add the chicken, in batches if necessary, and brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Using tongs, transfer to a plate.

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan. Add the onions and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the browned chicken, turmeric, ginger, stock, saffron, and cumin. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.

Add the prunes, honey, and cinnamon. Cover and cook 25 minutes longer, or until the chicken is nearly falling off the bone. Season with the salt and pepper. Stir in the lemon juice.

Skim the fat from the liquid. Serve over the couscous, sprinkled with the toasted almonds and cilantro.
