Yum! What stands out here is that all the ingredients are so wholesome and bold flavors. Mimi, how do you suggest stocking a pantry/kitchen for this kind of cooking? Are the spices regular from the store or fresh?

Regular dry spices are fine here! Of course if you have access to fresh, that would be even more exciting! Enjoy!

What does the cinnamon do to the meat?

Hi! Cinnamon is that warming spice that’ll give you that Mediterranean flavor!
