Rockin Moroccan Stew

ROCKIN' MOROCCAN STEW

Ingredients:

2 tsp olive oil

1 cup chopped onions

1/2 cup each of diced celery and chopped green bell pepper (I only had orange for the dish pictured!)

1 clove garlic, minced

3 cups vegetable broth

3 cups peeled, cubed sweet potatoes

1 can (19oz) diced tomatoes, drained

1 can (19 oz) drained and rinsed chickpeas

1 tbsp lemon juice

2 tsp grated fresh ginger

1 tsp each of ground cumin, curry powder, ground coriander, and chili powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 cup raisins (I didn't have any so I used dried cranberries)

2 tbsp each light peanut butter, and chopped fresh cilantro

• Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat.  Add onions, celery, green pepper, and garlic.  Cook and stir until vegetables begin to soften (approx. 3 minutes)
• Add all remaining ingredients, except raisins, peanut butter and cilantro.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
• Stir in raisins, peanut butter and cilantro.  Mix well.  Simmer for 5 more minutes.
• ENJOY!

I also added some leftover diced butternut squash with the sweet potato…so good!
