Moroccan cuisine is one of my favorites and we’ve often used this theme as a basis for our holiday meals. I've actually enjoyed this style so much that I put together a Plant-Based Moroccan Holiday Menu. So if you're wondering what to serve with Moroccan stew, this is a great place to start!
This stew / soup contains so many plant-strong veggies that all of your cells will say “thank-you” for giving them such good nutrition! It has kale, a perfect leafy green packed full of nutrition. It's a versatile plant that can even be used in smoothies like this Mint Chocolate Smoothie.
And, if you're wanting to learn more about the benefits of greens, take a look at my article series Get Your Leafy Greens On, Part 1 and Part 2.
Other than kale, this vegan Moroccan stew recipe also has onion, tomatoes, carrots, white and sweet potatoes, garbanzo beans, healthy lentils and some dried apricots. A lovely variety of warm spices and vegetable broth, you've got a bowl of soup packed with protein and dietary fiber.

This Moroccan stew recipe makes a large amount, but it’s great to eat as an afternoon snack the next day or even for breakfast (which I did). I found several versions of this recipe and I’m not sure who originated it…
