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.
