By Andrew Fernandez:
This is the reason I like Jamie Oliver. This is a spicy dish that I am more familiar with and like. Cilantro played a big part in this dish.

One of my mistakes on this dish was probably making way too much. It was delicious and lasted me for a week and lunches for a couple of coworkers.

This is my first time using apricots in my cooking and it is amazing, providing a sweet flavor to the curry like dish. Definitely give it a shot! You will love it!
