"This amazing soup is from the highly acclaimed Saffron restaurant in Arrowtown, NZ. It is absolutely delicious with naan!!
Notes: The recipe calls for Star Anise, however I usually substitute fennel seeds.. I also use coconut oil instead of peanut and 3 cans of tomatoes if I don't have fresh. If you can't find Palm sugar, try brown sugar.

"One of the best vegetable soups I've had in ages! Extremely easy to make and very cheap (leave out the saffron if you don't already have any)! This lemony, peppery soup is traditionally enjoyed at the end of a day of fasting during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. This is a vegetarian version of the thick and aromatic soup. More like a..."

"Inspired by the flavors of North Africa, this vegetarian stew replaces the tagine with the crock pot. The combination of saffron, ginger and cinnamon give of a wonderful aroma and flavor. It would tempting to substitute canned chickpeas here but you will get a different result. In this dish the chickpeas while tender have greater firmness than the..."

Ingredients: cinnamon, ground cumin...

"Nabbed this from a Whole Foods recipe. Very good especially with the chamoula (separate recipe). This is very chunky, if you want a thin soup add more veggie broth, if you want a thicker soup take some of the chickpeas and lentils and puree them in a blender, then add them back into the soup."

"I created this soup one night when I was craving something warm, healthy and comforting, but a little different. This is a simple, hearty soup flavored with cumin and saffron; the broth is made rich and nutritious by using the potato cooking water. It's excellent served with a little yogurt or sour cream on the side, or with some cheesy garlic..."

"I had this one day, at a Persian restaurant in Kuala Lumpur. It was so good with some okra stew or oxtail stew that I had to try it myself. Serving is for two people, because that's how many people live at home."

Ingredients: cooking oil, long-grain rice...

"The original recipe uses beef chuck, but I adapted it to use veggie crumbles that resemble meat. I used Morningstar Farms "sausage" soy crumbles, but you could use ground beef or cubed chuck, or any similar type of main ingredient. I use the "fire-roasted" type of diced tomatoes to get the smoky flavor in the stew."

"I just came back from Marrakesh and had to recreate the Harira I had in the Djemma El Fna market. I read about 20 recipes and used what I thought was the best of all of them, then used my tastebud memories for the rest. This is an extremely flexible recipe, and should be adjusted to suit your tastes. Don't be daunted, it is exceptionally easy!..."
