- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1½ cups reduced-sodium vegetable broth, divided
- 2½ cups butternut squash, in 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup chopped zucchini, in 3/4-inch pieces
- 1/4 lb. string beans, trimmed and cut in 1½-inch lengths

INSTRUCTIONS
- In medium Dutch oven, combine turnips, carrots, onion, cumin, paprika, ginger, turmeric and cayenne. Pour in 1 cup broth. Cover and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes.
- Add butternut squash, zucchini, string beans, chickpeas and remaining broth. Add salt and 3-4 grinds of pepper. Cover and cook until vegetables are tender, 20 minutes. Arrange tomato slices on top of the vegetables, cover, and cook until tomatoes are just soft, 5 minutes.
- Add cilantro and parsley and let tagine sit, covered, for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve hot, directly from pot. This dish improves when reheated so, if desired, cool, cover, and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- Reheat, covered, over medium heat.
