Marrakesh Vegetable Curry

Submitted by NorthwestGal

"I found this delicious Moroccan curry recipe on the Albertsons website, posted by Niblets. I took into account some of the reviews that stated some of the vegetables were uncooked and others were overcooked. So I worked with the recipe a bit, and think the order I cooked everything worked well because all of the vegetables were cooked evenly."

We were both raving about this dish! Accidentally, I forgot to add the spinach, but I think it didn't really affect the taste. As I'll DEFINITELY make this again, we'll have the chance to get the spinach next time ;-) I served it with brown rice and hard boiled eggs.<br/>Thanks so much for sharing this winner!<br/>Made for ZWT 9 / Morocco for The Apron String Travelers
