Moroccan Chicken Stew

"Here's a healthy stew that you can make in one pot. For a vegetarian version just leave out the chicken and add another can of chickpeas instead. Quorn pieces are another good alternative, if you can get them."

  1. Oh, this was so wonderful. The combination of ingredients produced a well seasoned and spicy delicious stew. Perfect for fall. The smell was as good as the taste. Thanks, SG. Will take the left-overs for lunch.
     
  2. The stew turned out great but the prep time was way longer then I expected. Not a good dish to prepare on a week night (I thought I could throw it all together and let it simmer but it was more involved than that), but for a Saturday or Sunday meal when you have more time it is great! Perfect blend of spices and healthy veggies, and tons of leftovers that get better as they marinate in the fridge. Thanks, I will be making this again!

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes. Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;) Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce. When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice. We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing! When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband. <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif">
