Carrots, Potatoes and Green Olives Tangine (African Stew)


 
A tagine is a stew from North Africa that’s slow-cooked in a special cone-shaped pot. This recipe is easy to assemble and can be made using any dish with a tightly-fitted lid. Carotenoid-rich carrots are simmered with potatoes and turnips, which contain indoles and sulforaphane – two phytochemicals that may offer cancer protection. Warm Moroccan spices like cinnamon, ginger and turmeric add exotic flavor and potent antioxidants. All of these root vegetables are also rich in fiber, which has been shown in research to lower risk for colorectal cancer.
