INSTRUCTIONS
In a heavy stockpot, heat the olive oil and saute the onion, garlic,
potatoes, carrots, and cardamom. Stir until fragrant, then add the
zucchini, yellow squash, and cauliflower. Add curry powder, salt,
black pepper, and cayenne and stir. Drain the raisins and add to the
pot along with the tomatoes, tomato sauce, honey, and garbanzo beans.
Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender,
adding up to 1 cup of water if the stew appears dry. While the stew is
cooking, bring the water to a boil in a saucepan and stir in the
couscous. Cook for 1 minute, then cover and turn off the heat, letting
the couscous sit for 10 minutes. After the couscous has sat for 5
minutes, stir the figs and almonds into the stew. To serve, fluff up
the couscous with a fork. Spoon a mound of couscous on each plate and
form a well in the center. Ladle a portion of stew into the well.
Garnish with several tablespoons of the yogurt and fresh mint. Serve
the remaining yogurt on the side. NOTES : The Jump Up and Kiss Me
Spicy Vegetarian Cooking by Jennifer Trainer Thompson was called to
the attention of the Food/Wine group by Brenda Adams. Thanks Brenda,
it's a wonderful cookbook published by Ten Speed Press of Berkeley,
CA. Serves 6 to 8 Moroccan food is startlingly aromatic. Perfumed with
the fragrance of cardamom and accented with the sweetness of currants,
one bite of this spicy stew will have you thinking you've just arrived
in the city of Fez for a culinary adventure. It's delicious served
