Legend has it that this recipe originated in Savannah, Georgia, from a sea captain selling spices. Whether or not the tale is true, the mix of currants, thyme, almonds, cayenne pepper, curry powder, and garlic certainly adds an enjoyable flavor.

Makes: 4 servings

• 1 chicken, cut into 8 pieces, skin removed (about 3 pounds)

• 2 teaspoons curry powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1 -inch pieces

• One 14- to 15-ounce can diced tomatoes with juice

• 1/4 cup dried currants or raisins

• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

• 2 tablespoons sliced almonds

1. Sprinkle the chicken pieces with curry powder, salt, and cayenne.

2. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet. Brown the chicken in oil on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

3. Saute the onion and garlic in the same skillet for 3 minutes. Add the green pepper, tomatoes with liquid, currants, and thyme. Bring to a boil. Return the chicken to the skkillet; reduce the heat. Cove and simmer until the chicken is tender, about 15 minutes, spooning the juices over the chicken occasionally. While the chicken is cooking, heat the almonds in a small skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes, until slightly browned and fragrant.

4. Sprinkle the dish with toasted almonds at serving time.
