Moroccan Spiced Sweet Potato Medley


This 30 minute one-pot dish makes enough for 4 hearty appetities! (And is fantastic to pack the next day as lunch leftovers.)
2 tsp olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 1/2 tsp ground corainder
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
1 tsp salt
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4 in pieces
1 can (14.5 oz) stewed tomatoes
1 cup bulgur wheat
1 can (15 oz) garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
Big handful of fresh chopped cilantro
plain yogurt

In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot.
Add onion and cook, covered about 8 minutes or until tender and golden, stirring occasionally.
Add garlic, corainder, cumin, salt, ground red pepper and cook 1 minute, stirring. Add potatoes, tomatoes, bulgur and 4 cups of water, heat to boiling over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Stir in the beans and heat through.
Serve with yogurt and fresh cilantro.
