SERVES 4

This dish makes use of any leftover cooked

chicken, as well as a bumper crop of

vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, and squash.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat,

sauté 1 tbsp olive oil, yellow onion, and garlic

until onion is lightly browned, 2–3 minutes.

Remove pan from heat and slowly fold in

tomato juice and frozen tomatoes. Return to

heat and add ras el hanout and harissa paste.

Bring to a simmer and cook Moroccan

sauce, uncovered, stirring occasionally,

15 minutes.

In a large saucepan over medium heat,

sauté eggplant, red onion, bell pepper,

zucchini, yellow squash, carrot, and

garbanzo beans in remaining 2 tbsp

olive oil until vegetables are slightly

tender, 8–10 minutes. Add chicken to

mixture and stir to reheat, 2 minutes.

Pour Moroccan sauce over chicken and

veggies and stir; cover and simmer,

stirring occasionally, 20 minutes. Split

stew among 4 bowls and garnish with

sunflower seeds if desired.
