Scrumptious, but beyond-simple to throw together!
“This stew is simple to make and has great flavor. The prep work takes about 15 minutes. I threw mine in the crockpot at lunchtime, and after 4 short hours on high, it was ready. And cooking a batch of couscous to go with it takes less than 10 minutes. It’s a great weeknight meal option. It reheats beautifully, too, if you have leftovers.”

If you add chicken broth, this cannot be considered the vegetarian alternative 😉
Hilary, Vegetable broth works just as well. Thanks! 🙂
