I always double up this recipe and freeze in 1 person portions so I can just get it out when I need it.

The recipe for Moroccan Vegetable Stew is to follow, but it is on the 'big computer' and I don't have time to warm it up (yes, I said warm it up ) just now because I'm off swimming so I shall have to post that this afternoon.

Thanks Sue! For both. I looked it up, borlotti beans are also called cranberry beans in the US, and I saw some at the local Whole Foods Market the other day. I've never used caraway seed, this will be a new taste.
