NOTES : The name of this dish is DJAJA TARAT (which means " The Chicken Flew

Away! " ) --~-- This stew is usually served in winter, says Kitty. Pat added the

bed of lemony, spiced bulgur. Pumpkin or butternut squash are delicious

alternatives to yams, you can also substitute garbanzo beans for the lentils.

Kitty uses ground ginger. If you like hot, use fresh, smashed.
