Preparation: Begin by preparing all the ingredients. Chop the vegetables—green beans, carrot, sweet potato, eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, and onion—and set them aside.

Sauté Vegetables: In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables and sauté for about 3-5 minutes until they are tender yet crisp.
-
Prepare Spice Mix: In a separate medium pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic, turmeric, curry powder, and the cinnamon stick, along with salt and black pepper. Sauté for approximately 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Combine Ingredients: Transfer the sautéed spice mixture into the pan with the vegetables. Add the fresh orange juice, almonds, raisins, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
-
Simmer: Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
-
Add Spinach: Finally, stir in the chopped spinach and let the curry boil for an additional 5 minutes until everything is well combined and the spinach is wilted.
-
Serve: Serve the Marrakesh Vegetable Curry hot, paired with cooked couscous or steamed rice. For a complete meal, consider complementing it with a Moroccan Baked Fish Recipe or Spicy Moroccan Eggs Recipe.
This vibrant Marrakesh Vegetable Curry is a delightful blend of flavors and textures, making it a perfect centerpiece for any vegetarian meal. Enjoy the rich taste and the warmth of Moroccan spices!
