  • 3/4 tsp Ginger, ground
  • 1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon, ground
  • Large pinch of Saffron threads (lightly toasted and crushed)
  • 1 Large Chicken
  • 3 Cups Water or Chicken Broth (broth is better)
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata Olives
  • 1 Large bunch Cilantro chopped
  • 1 Large bunch Parsley chopped
  • 1 Preserved Lemon in salt rinsed and chopped
