Notes

To enhance the flavor of the stew, consider preparing it a day in advance as the flavors tend to develop overnight. Feel free to adjust the spice levels by adding more cayenne pepper for heat or extra lemon juice for freshness. Serve with crusty bread or over a bed of rice for a complete meal.
