sweet potatoes and cous cous

This is a simple yet rich tomatoey sweet potato and carrot stew which works very well with cous cous.  In fact I would serve everything with cous cous if I could, I'm just simply addicted to it.

A soft hint of cumin brings out the sweetness in the carrots and the potatoes making this an all round mid-week family favourite.

Maybe a little healthy for some but try it, it may surprise you.

You'll need:

• 3 sweet potatoes, chopped (skin on for more roughage)

2) Add the carrots, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and cumin and simmer for approx 20 - 30 mins.

3) Pour the boiling water over the cous cous and leave to stand for approx 10 mins, serve with the stew and enjoy.
