Heady and fragrant with spice, this recipe is also incredibly comforting. The kind of immune boosting stew that gives a real pick me up with a punch of flavour.
This is not exclusive to winter, the stew is light and fresh too and can be enjoyed all year with seasonal vegetables. I have used spinach, but kale, broccoli, chard, or any dark leafy veg also work beautifully.
