Moroccan Goulash
Posted Wed, 07/14/04
I was going to title this blog entry "Moroccan Hash" but thought better of it.
Actually, yesterday's recipe from Campbell's Kitchen was called:
West African Vegetable Stew
1 TBS vegetable oil
2 C sliced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 LB sweet potatoes, peeled & cut into 1/4" half-slices
1 large tomato, coarsely chopped
1/2 C raisins
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
1 can (10-1/2 oz.) Campbell's Chicken Broth
1/2 C water
1 can (about 15 oz.) chick peas (garbanzo beans), rinsed & drained
4 C coarsely chopped spinach
Heat the oil in a skillet; add onion and garlic. Cook until onion is tender. Add potatoes and tomatoes; cook for five minutes. Add raisins, cinnamon, red pepper, broth and water. Heat to a boil; cover and cook over low heat for fifteen minutes. Add chick peas and spinach; heat through. Serve over cooked rice or couscous, if desired. Serves six.
The addition of sweet potatoes probably gives the dish an interesting taste, although I might be tempted to add some sort of meat such as shredded beef or chicken. I would defiantly exclude the damned raisins.
