With its warm fragrant spices and rich tomato sauce, this excellent vehicle for using up leftover turkey or roast chicken will be a recipe you’ll want to have on repeat. Save yourself some time by using a store-bought rotisserie chicken, which will yield lots of delicious tender meat and the basis of a rich stock. A touch of sweetness from prunes lends a special touch to this hearty stew that’s finished with toasted sesame seeds and fresh, fragrant parsley.

Make ahead
Like many stews, the flavour of this dish improves after a night in the fridge, so feel free to make this the day before you need it. This will get the “hard work” out of the way and give you a quick dish to warm up when you want to enjoy it.
