June 19, 2011: Wintertime Vegetable Tagine

This calendar month it was my plough to tackle the calendar recipe - a draw of piece of occupation I was happy to direct keep on given that it required only 1 tiny tweak to plough into a vegan in addition to gluten-free delight. It's a pretty impressive meal, amongst a overnice combo of wintertime beginning vegetables in addition to warming spices. I in all probability went overboard amongst the stock, which meant that nosotros ended upwardly amongst something to a greater extent than soup than stew. Maybe if we'd used a tagine equally specified rather than only a large pot things would direct keep worked out better. Still, amongst a pile of quinoa on the side in addition to only about of this harissa drizzled on top, this was i of the close hearty in addition to warming meals of the season.
