Buy these seasonings if you like yummy stew.

Lately I have a basic crock pot recipe for North African stews. It consists of the following:

Chunked zucchini, yellow squash and eggplant or other squash
Tomato base (canned tomatoes, diced tomatoes, sometimes juice or sauce in a pinch)
Minced Garlic
Lentils
Cilantro

Diced bell peppers of the sweet, multicolored variety, if I have them.

I have purchased (and received as gifts) the following seasonings for my collection, which make this stew positively delightful:

Nirmala's Kitchen Moroccan Tagine Seasoning
Nirmala's Kitchen Ethiopian Berbere Seasoning
Nirmala's Kitchen Tunisian Harissa Blend
Zamouri's Chicken Tagine Seasoning
Zamouri's Berbere

(The Nirmala's seasonings are superb, but Zamouri has more variety and tends to qualify for Super Saver Shipping on Amazon.)

Add salt to taste (sometimes a lot, as these seasonings can be sweeter than desired). Serve with some couscous/whole wheat couscous.

I've also been adding shredded and chopped rotisserie chicken, but it's not really necessary if you're a vegetarian/vegan.
