Reviews
basil and cinnamon - what a combination We enjoyed this recipe very much. The stuffing tasted even better when cutting dates and dried apricots in halves. Around the chicken we arranged a mix of cherry tomatoes, fresh hearts of artichokes and red onions we had stir fried for 3min in oil. veronika & philippe
