Here’s an updated version of one of the most famous kdra dishes, a style of cooking that features the preserved butter of Morocco called smen as well as pepper and saffron. The name also indicates the poultry or meat is cooked in a creamy sauce. In this recipe, the accompanying soft, fresh green almonds and peeled chickpeas are included to make a sensational velvety textured, aromatic chicken stew that is eaten with flat bread.
