Description

This Moroccan Vegetable Stew and Couscous is a vibrant, plant-based meal that brings the warmth of North African cuisine to your table in under thirty minutes. The dish combines earthy eggplant, sweet zucchini, and juicy tomatoes with aromatic spices like curry powder, cinnamon, and turmeric. The addition of dark raisins provides a delightful sweetness that balances the savory depth of the stew. Served over fluffy couscous, it offers a perfect texture contrast and a satisfying flavor profile. Ideal for busy weeknights or a light dinner, this recipe is easy to prepare using a microwave or stovetop. It is naturally vegan and packed with wholesome ingredients, making it a comforting yet healthy choice for the whole family.

Directions

  1. In a 2-quart microwave-safe bowl, combine the onion, gingerroot, and olive oil. Microwave on medium (50 percent power) for 1 minute.
  2. Stir in the garlic, curry powder, cinnamon, and turmeric. Cover the bowl and microwave on medium for 1 minute.
  3. Add the eggplant, zucchini, water, salt, and raisins to the bowl. Cover and microwave on high for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Stir in the honey and halved tomatoes. Cover and microwave on high for 2 more minutes, or until the tomatoes are hot and slightly softened.
  5. While the stew cooks, prepare the couscous according to package directions, usually by boiling water or broth and fluffing with a fork.
  6. Spoon the couscous into serving bowls and top with the warm vegetable stew. Serve immediately.
