This sounds incredibly fabulous. I love Moroccan chicken recipes too (and just got a tangine a couple of months ago! - haven't used it yet though) so I will definitely be trying this out as soon as the local tomatoes are in. I love this site! As an ex-pat NYer, I am SO glad I found you. I miss New York! Down here the Chinese restaurants close at TEN O'CLOCK - can you imagine?! I've lived here since 1980 and I STILL haven't adjusted. And thank God I live down the street from the only decent bagel place (as rated by the Washington Post) in all of Northern Virginia!! What's it called? Brooklyn Bagels, of course!

Now come on. The problem here is industrialized production, particularly runoff from industrialized meat agriculture. Buying locally-grown tomatoes is fine, as is growing tomatoes from the east coast areas not implicated in the FDA warning. I haven't seen Gothamist recommending people stop eating beef after the various ground beef recalls of the past few years!

Perfect timing for this recipe.

Right now, you shouldn't eat raw tomatoes because of the risk of infection. Nice. Now even Gothamist is on the bandwagon spreading misinformation and adding fuel to the fire. The FDA says only certain kinds of tomatoes are a danger and of those, only if they come from certain states. Get your facts straight before you post garbage like this. Do you have any idea what kind of damage you can do to tomato growers and distributors in unaffected states by making unfounded blanket statements? Is responsible blogging too much to ask for?
