Instructions
- In a large, heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook until the onion is softened, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in the spices (next 7 ingredients) and tomato paste and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the carrots and celery, and cook for another 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice, water, TruNut original flavor, turnips, sweet potatoes, sundried tomatoes, raisins, and garbanzo beans. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes or until large vegetables are thoroughly cooked. Let the stew sit for 10 minutes so the flavors can intensify. Serve over couscous, quinoa, rice, or in a soup bowl by itself!
