Rockin' Moroccan Stew

This fragrant Moroccan stew is a vibrant celebration of North African flavours, combining savoury vegetables with the natural sweetness of apricots and prunes. It is a hearty vegan dish that brings warmth to the table through a delicate blend of cinnamon, ginger and saffron. The addition of soy chunks and sweet potato provides a satisfying texture, while the briny olives and artichokes offer a sophisticated depth of flavour that balances the gentle spice.

Perfect for a nutritious midweek dinner or a relaxed weekend gathering, this one-pan meal is both healthy and simple to prepare. Serving the rich, aromatic sauce over a bed of light, fluffy couscous allows every drop of the spiced broth to be enjoyed. Finish with a scatter of toasted almonds for a crunch that completes this wholesome homemade favourite.
