"This is my variation of a Steve Raichlen recipe from his book, Healthy Latin Cooking, as it appeared in the March 1999 Vegetarian Times. Lots of veggies for better health. I increased the cumin, oregano and tomato paste, doubled the broth (I had some thirsty potatoes) and increased the cooking time to accommodate the potatoes. As with most stews it's great the first night and even better the next day."
