I made this stew in my slow cooker, and it turned out perfectly. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning, and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover sweet potatoes and spinach, and I decided to make this stew. It was delicious!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my stew turned out really watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This stew was a disappointment. The sweet potatoes were undercooked, and the spinach was wilted. I would not recommend this recipe.

The stew was good, but it didn't really wow me. I think it could have used more vegetables and more flavor.

I found this stew to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices, such as cumin, coriander, and paprika.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper, or omitting it altogether if you don't like spicy food.

This stew is perfect for a cold winter night. It's warm and comforting, and the spices really warm you up. I also love that it's a one-pot meal, so there's less cleanup involved.

I love the versatility of this recipe. I've made it with different types of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and zucchini. I've also added different spices, such as cumin, coriander, and paprika. It's always delicious!

This stew is a great make-ahead meal. I made it on a Sunday and then reheated it throughout the week for lunch. It was just as delicious the second and third time around.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but I really enjoyed this stew. The sweetness of the potatoes was perfectly balanced by the savory spices. I also loved the addition of the raisins, which added a nice touch of sweetness and texture.
