Vegetable stew with sweet potato is an exquisite dish of Moroccan cuisine filled with vibrant aromas and rich flavors. This stew combines the sweetness of sweet potato with a rich bouquet of spices, creating a warm and comforting taste. The recipe's origins trace back to traditional Moroccan markets where vegetables and spices play a key role. Its uniqueness lies in the combination of textures: the softness of sweet potato, the juiciness of zucchini, and the slight crunch of pepper.
