This simple one-pot meal is bursting with flavours of the Middle-East. Our authentic blend of Ras el Hanout is this party's host with ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice and many more ingredients coming into play. These lay down the sweetness and sharpness to this flavoursome stew while the roasted tomato paste and a bold mushroom stock add depth to this flavour party. There's even more reason to celebrate, it's only a tiny 250 calories per person with a very healthy bunch of tasty winter vegetables.

Really good flavours but could’ve done with a thicker sauce. I served it with wholemeal toasted pitta breads to fill us up.

So delicious. Warm and spicy. Real comfort food.

Loved this. Very colourful too. Pleasing to the eye and tasty made it very yummy indeed.
Theresa - Jun 12, 2019
Delicious the squeeze of lemon and dollop of yogurt certainly adds to the overall taste.I added a red pepper and a carrot. Any root veg would work well, pretty spicy but I will defo do this again .
Jaycie - Jun 12, 2019
I’m not a veggie but this wasn’t exciting enough for me, pleasant taste but not my cup of tea. Also think it needs a longer cooking time for the vegetables to soften up enough.
Lucy - Jun 12, 2019
Bland
Pamela - Jun 11, 2019
Delicious served with a raisin and walnut sourdough bread delicious
Janet - Jun 11, 2019
I found this disappointing. The timing given wasn't long enough for the butternut squash and the overall dish was kind of bland. The addition of yoghurt helped, but I won't be getting this one again.

Michael - Jun 07, 2019
Very disappointing. Thin and bland. One star for being easy.
Brian - Jun 07, 2019
Because I prefer potatoes soft, I slow cooked potatoes and butternut squash for longer. Actually I cooked this dish with the butter chicken - they went well together.
Cheryl - Jun 07, 2019
Absolutely gorgeous!
Donna - Jun 05, 2019
Delicious! Loved the warm depth of the dish.
Penny - Jun 05, 2019
The stew was incredible so tasty and filling...served with slices of ciabatta...
Hocine - Jun 05, 2019
Disappointing. Lacking flavour, lacking substance, needs a protein to make it a balanced meal, as this is just some starches and and some spices
Kirsti - Jun 04, 2019

Good hearty meal. I cooked it for 30mins in oven as potatoes needed more time according to previous reviews. Still tasty. Next time I'll add garlic and some extra spice
