2/18/2013This was a really nice change from the flavor profiles that I normally use. I will definitely make this one again. I served with couscous as suggested and thought it was very nice with this dish. I wouldn't consider this a quick recipe though, because prepping the vegetables and waiting on the sweet potatoes to cook took a long time.

1/10/2013Wonderful flavors. Fairly easy prep; not too time consuming. Perfect one dish meal. And good for you too!

11/13/2010I was happy to find this flavorful recipe for my garlic-phobe husband, but he gives it only 3 1/2 stars because of the "shrubbery" (kale). However, he notes that this is an especially palatable way to eat greens. I thought the stew was delicious.

5/23/2010A favorite in our house. Goes well with lamb kebabs with mint and olives (another FC dish) and couscous or quinoa. Even more delicious if you soak and cook dried chickpeas.

12/29/2009A favorite in our house. (mostly) vegan, well balanced, and when served with whole wheat cous-cous gives a great source of protein.
Also, if you stop before adding the kale (or double it and save half before adding the kale) you have a quick and easy re-heatable meal (just add the kale and through on the stove for 15 min) for the middle of a busy week!

10/16/2009This delicious one-dish meal is perfect to serve to guests, because you can prep the ingredients ahead of time. I cooked dried garbanzos instead of using canned, and i used the liquor from the bean in place of the cup of water called for. Our guest was an old friend of my husband--a stranger to me--and my heart sank when I saw his starched shirt and dress slacks. I was sure he was a meat-and-potatoes man, but he loved this complex, exotic stew.

3/30/2009This was a great dish to accompany rack of lamb with ancho-honey glaze. The Ragout had a great taste not to bold which I served with slices of fresh bread....great!

1/19/2009This soup is divine and delicious! We had company over New Year's that are vegetarians, and made it while they were here. It was a BIG hit with everyone, including my meat-and-potatoes husband. I always get a bit panicky about what to feed my veg head friends, but this will be a good stand by.

10/8/2008This is straight forward and delicious. I wasn't sure what to expect with the combination of sweet, bitter and salty but it works well.
