Main Course

This hearty North African stew is warmly spiced with our organic allspice, cumin, cinnamon and red pepper flakes, with fresh ginger for brightness. Sweet potatoes and chickpeas simmer in a tomato broth, and golden raisins and a spoonful of almond or peanut butter make it rich and a little sweet. It's vegetarian, plant-based and gluten-free as written, and it serves a crowd. For a heartier meal, stir in diced chicken or carnitas and use chicken broth.
