Moroccan Vegetable Stew
This is an easy dish to prepare in a slow cooker ahead of time, or you can have it simmer in a heavy-bottomed pot on the stove. The chickpeas add plenty of fibre, and dried apricots add an exotic twist. If you don't have couscous on hand to serve with this stew, cook rice or potatoes.
