This is another recipe from "The Food of Morocco" and I really like it. I tend to divide it into portions, freeze it and take it to work for lunch. It is very healthy and you can make it more healthy by reducing or removing the butter. You can chop the vegetables up as you like, just try to make sure that the squash and sweet potato are cut about the same size.
Ingredients You'll Need
60 g butter
1 large brown onion, chopped as finely as you like
2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

500 g orange sweet potato, peeled and cubed

1 tablespoon of honey (change for maple syrup for vegans)
Coriander leaves to serve (optional)
Directions
