Tips:

For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season vegetables. Fresh vegetables will provide the most flavor and nutrients.
If you don't have harissa, you can substitute another spicy condiment, such as sriracha or chili paste. However, harissa has a unique flavor that is difficult to replicate, so it is best to use it if you can find it.
If you're short on time, you can use canned or frozen vegetables. Just be sure to drain and rinse them well before using.
This stew is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Just add them to the pot and simmer until they're heated through.
Serve the stew with your favorite sides, such as rice, couscous, or pita bread.
