gypsy stew



i think that i was supposed to take the "le creuset" sticker off the front of my new pot, but i am just soooo in love with it that i went ahead and cooked with it on there...

i had a bunch of cous cous left from the other night and was thinking all day about a sort of gyspy soup (like from myra's dionysus) and having that cous cous , etc.

it turned out much more like a stew, since i just had a bit of stock and tons of veggies. softened fennel, onions, celery, shallots, jalapeno and garlic first. added a big can of diced tomatoes and a can of garbonzos. carrots, sweet potatoes and some stock. seasoned with lots of hot curry powder, smokey paprika, some cumin, a touch of cinnamon and lots of salt and pepper. simmered that for a long time then right before i was ready to eat, i tossed in a bunch of green beans and fresh spinach.
