My family comes from Sicily. From the tip of Africa to the tip of Sicily is a mere 12 nautical miles. We therefore have in common recipes, the use of certain spices, and cooking customs. This recipe comes from my dad's playbook. North African cooking often features cinnamon in both savory dishes and desserts. Carrots and raisins make this stew somewhat sweet. I usually serve this with a dollop of Greek yogurt (or crema) to complement the flavors.
