I made this last night for my meat loving parents and they ate it! And presumably enjoyed it...they loved the smells and the presentation which are quite similar to veggie tajine in Morocco. Things I would change: Attempt to brown the chik'n before adding to the stew, add more of the veggies (zucchini, eggplant, onions). Serve couscous! You should lay a bed of couscous beneath the stew and serve it with bread. Yum! Leftovers are good too!
