Vegetable Stew with Dried Lime served with a Baked Black Chickpea Pancake

This is one of the most healthful and comforting menus that I make. This stew recipe slow cooks vegetables and pairs them with fresh herbs and citrus to make a delicous and comforting dish without much fat and no animal products.
