Moroccan spice can be purchased from most supermarket stores, or you could make your own blend if preferred, that way you can control the amounts that you add in, especially if you are not too keen on a particular flavour, however, I’ll have to admit that I do buy mine straight from the supermarket.
You can serve this hearty moroccan stew on its own or pair it with some yummy couscous salad.

Why I love Instant Pot recipes
What I love about this recipe is that it requires the ”One-Pot” to make. This Moroccan Vegetable Stew with Polenta is comfort food at its finest! Using healthy, simple basic ingredients crammed into the one-pot creating a flavourful meal.
The Polenta soaks up the juices in this Stew dish and I use it instead of dumplings as Polenta is far healthier for you and naturally vegan. If you don’t have the time to make the polenta then you could always serve the stew with creamy mashed potato.
If you love to make homemade soup in the fall and winter seasons (like me!), then one of the best investments you can ever make for your kitchen is a high-quality cast iron Dutch Oven pot. It comes in handy in the winter for making soups, stews and curries and those warm hearty dishes that are always a family favourite.

Scale
Ingredients
1 Carrot Peeled and Diced
1 Large Brown Onion Diced
2 Sticks Celery Chopped
1 Cup Frozen Peas
1 Sweet Potato Peeled and Diced
2 Cloves Garlic
2 Bay Leaves
2 TBSP Moroccan Spice
1 Tin Chopped Tomatoes
1 Cup Lentils Soaked and Cooked
1 Tin Chick Peas
1L Vegan Beef Style Stock
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Tbsp Vegan Butter
1 Cup Polenta
a pinch of salt
Olve Oil
Instructions
To make the Polenta ;- Fill a large saucepan 3/4 full of water and add salt and olive oil. Heat until almost boiling then turn down the heat to low.
Mix together the polenta, and salt in a large bowl and slowly and gradually add it to the hot water while stirring with a whisk continuously to avoid any lumps. The mixture should start to thicken, add a little extra olive oil so it doesn’t stick to the pan.
Pour the polenta into a large roasting tray and leave to cool until it solidifies. Once it has solidified, cut it into chunks and set aside to be added to the stew later.
Melt the butter in a pot and add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the vegetables, followed by the stock, tinned tomatoes and chickpeas and lentils. Cover with lid and let simmer for 45mins to 1 hour.
Once the Stew is ready add the chopped polenta and serve.
