1.
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes
and cook until they begin to lightly brown, about 15 minutes. Stir
frequently to avoid potatoes sticking to the pan.
2.
Add the onion, garlic, chili, zucchini, eggplant, red pepper, tomato and
salt. Cook for 5 minutes.
3.
Reduce heat to medium. Add water and cover pan with lid. Continue
cooking until vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 -
20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
4. While
vegetables are cooking, place paprika, cumin, cayenne, cilantro and
parsley in a food processor**. Process until herbs are chopped and
spices are combined.
5. Add
the herb/spice mixture to vegetables.
6. Once
vegetables are tender, taste for additional seasonings and serve with couscous.
** If you do not have a food
processor, place ingredients in a blender, and blend until incorporated.
Use a tablespoon of water to loosen mixture from blade.
