A one-pot wonder this vegan sweet potato & chickpea Moroccan stew, makes a quick and healthy family meal. I like to serve it with couscous (or quinoa) topped with plenty of sliced almonds, freshly chopped coriander, mint, (dairy-free) yoghurt and red chilis.

Instructions
Peel sweet potatoes and cut in 1.5cm [0.6 inch dice]. Deseed red pepper and cut in 1.5cm [0.6 inch dice].
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Add finely chopped onion and fry gently for a couple of minutes. Add ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon and paprika. Fry gently for 3 minutes to release aromas.
Add diced sweet potato and red pepper. Add crushed garlic, chopped tomatoes, vegetable stock and raisins. Bring to the boil and cook half-covered under medium heat for 15 mins. Keep on cooking uncovered under medium heat for another 10-15 mins until sweet potatoes are cooked and liquid has thickened slightly. Stir the pan every now and then, so vegetables do not stick to the bottom.
Add drained chickpeas and season to taste with lime juice and salt.
Serve with couscous topped with plenty of sliced almonds, freshly chopped coriander, mint, (dairy free) yoghurt and red chilis if using.
