Recipe video above. A vegetarian Moroccan stew loaded with heady and warm spices, filled with tender vegetables. Make this with any veg you have - just don't skimp on the spices!!Pan-roasting each vegetable to get a bit of colour on them before simmering is worth the effort to get the most flavour out of the vegetables. Because colour = flavour! Serve with couscous.
