- Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your stew the best flavor. If you can, buy them from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
- Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland.
- Use a Variety of Spices: Moroccan spices are essential for giving this stew its unique flavor. Be sure to use a variety of spices, including cumin, coriander, paprika, and ginger.
- Serve with Couscous or Rice: Moroccan vegetable stew is traditionally served with couscous or rice. These grains will help to absorb the delicious sauce.
