Hearty Moroccan Stew
This hearty flavorful stew, full of protein-rich chickpeas, quinoa, and Harissa Tofu Cubes by Hodo Foods. Spices like cumin, smoked paprika, and cinnamon make a savory dish with a hint of sweetness! Serve with your favorite steamed or sautéed vegetables or as you can see from my photo, I placed over fresh kale.
