Vegetarian Moroccan Stew

This is the perfect fall dish (adapted from Taste of Home) -- lots of seasonal orange veggies!  We did not have any coriander or allspice, so we just omitted those ingredients.  This would be excellent with naan

Vegetarian Moroccan Stew

1 T olive oil
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
