Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 large red onion, diced large
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
4 large carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
3 3/4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
2 small eggplants, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 can (15.5 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
Cooked couscous (optional), for serving

Steps:

  • In an 8-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 5 minutes. Add cumin, cinnamon, coriander, cayenne, and allspice and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add carrots, potatoes, and squash and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and broth (vegetables should be completely covered by liquid; add water to cover, if necessary). Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, uncovered, 20 minutes.
  • Add eggplant, stir to combine, and simmer until eggplant is tender, 20 minutes. Stir in chickpeas, season to taste with salt and pepper, and cook until chickpeas are warmed through, 5 minutes. Serve stew with couscous if desired.

This Marrakesh stew was a hit with my family! The flavors were amazing and the lamb was fall-apart tender. I will definitely be making this again.
