Enriching, colorful, nourishing, comfort food. Comfort food at its best', except my family didn't grow up with this food, so it doesn't have quite that niche in our lives...yet! I hope I'm willing to wrangle w/butternut squash enough for this lovely stew to become exactly that. It is relatively low cal per nutrition content, but stuck with us anyway! We didn't have coriander, so we used nutmeg. I was concerned about the heat in regards to my youngest child, so we cut back a good bit on the red pepper flakes (so the stew was probably not quite as good because of that...., but it was still very nice). We had no parsley, so stirred in some spinach at the end, which was a nice touch of color. Also, had no peppers, but still wanted to make the stew: put in carrots as 'fillers'. It would have been prettier w/peppers, but still very nice. USED A SLOW COOKER. NEXT TIME WILL ADJUST AS FOLLOWS: make chickpeas or white or red or black beans from dried beans using a mini crock pot, adding about 1/2 t salt for the whole mini pot full ON HIGH; at the same time place oil & spices in large slow cooker ON LOW, then chop veggies, adding veggies as soon as chopped - stirring with each addition; add rest of the ingredients including ***uncooked lentils & water 4 lentils**** (add everything except for the yogurt, parsley & mint - - but go ahead and add cayenne to taste, we like a tad, as it goes a long, long way) ADD BEANS, HEAT THROUGH TO COMBINE FLAVORS, CORRECT SEASONING, SERVE.

This recipe did not live up to my expectations. I feel like it's missing a major flavour note -- the sweet/fruit note that other Moroccan stew recipes have. What this recipe needs are prunes or raisins!

Fabulous! I skipped the lentils, and instead made spiced turkey meatballs (ground turkey,breadcrumbs,dehydrated onion, cinnamon, cumin, salt & pepper, and fresh mint)and dropped them in after browning them in the oven to let them finish cooking in the stew. I served it with curry couscous, plain Greek-style yogurt and more fresh chopped mint. Family approved!

We love this stew. Very similar to Medici's in Hyde Park/Chicago. I've made it for both meat-eaters and vegans; loved equally by both. We serve with a side of baked pita. I make a few changes: 1) Increase tomatoes to 15 oz can 2) Reduce cinnamon to 1/2 teas. 3) Add additional spices to menu: 1/2 teas. turmeric, 1 teas. curry powder, 1/2 teas. oregano

Tasty. Don't overcook or the butternut squash will disintegrate.
