From the Test Kitchen

For incredible depth of flavor, we’re cooking potatoes with aromatic strands of saffron, then tossing them with sautéed vegetables and a savory-sweet pan sauce of tomatoes, prunes, honey, and more—a bold complement to vadouvan-spiced chicken. A cooling drizzle of garlic yogurt gives delightful contrast to the vibrant flavors of the dish.

Medium dice the potatoes. Medium dice the zucchini. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers; remove the cores. Medium dice. Peel 2 cloves of garlic. Roughly chop 1 clove. Using a zester, finely grate the remaining clove into a paste (or use the small side of a box grater). Roughly chop the prunes. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. In a bowl, combine the chopped garlic, chopped prunes, and sliced white bottoms of the scallions. Drain the tomatoes; place in a bowl. Gently break apart with your hands. In a separate bowl, combine the yogurt and as much of the garlic paste as you’d like. Season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, in a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the diced zucchini in an even layer.
