Don’t be scared off by the long ingredient list in this recipe. Most of the spices are fairly common and can be found in a well-stocked kitchen pantry. The few ingredients you might not have are pretty easy to get at a grocery store. Best of all, this recipe can be made in under an hour and still taste like you slaved for hours in the kitchen.
