This recipe was originally posted by Zenith, who is no longer active at Zaar. She was a wonderful chef, however, so when her recipes went up for adoption I grabbed as many as I could. This is one that had been in my cookbook for months and months, and I still haven't gotten around to trying it. She is greatly missed! Here's what she had to say about this recipe: "A quick and easy vegetarian meal, perfect when served over couscous."

Tips:

  • Prep your vegetables: Before you start cooking, dice or chop all of your vegetables so that they are ready to go. This will save you time and hassle when you're cooking.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful your stew will be. Try to include a mix of root vegetables, leafy greens, and cruciferous vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and texture.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in Tunisian cuisine. Make sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
  • Season to taste: Don't be afraid to add more spices or herbs to your stew to taste. Common Tunisian spices include cumin, coriander, paprika, and harissa.
