Moroccan-style veggie stew - my Best Meal Ever

No really I'm not exaggerating. I'm so proud of this meal that I created entirely without a recipe. It's really healthy, really easy. Only problem is it like sweet potato and I keep having trouble finding it here - it doesn't help that I buy my veggies from street stalls in Grunnerlokka in the dark and keep coming home with yaro (?) But anyway.

Method
- Fry garlic and onion, and maybe a bit of chilli
- Add a tin of tomatos - or you can add a bit of a tin of pasta sauce; and some veggie stock
- Add chopped veggies - I suggest sweet potato and carrot at this point
- When the hard veggies are cooked add any other veggies you fancy (spinach, obviously, probably some egg plant, zuccini etc); and some chopped dates
- Season with garam masala, salt, pepper, whatever you feel like
- MASH - not to death, but just enough to get a good consistency going.
- Serve on a bed of cous cous (cook it in stock, then add some butter)

Yum!
