  • 1 large carrot, cut on diagonal into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1/4 lb. white mushrooms, halved
  • 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped plum tomatoes

Preparation

In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and onions and cook, stirring often, until just browned, about 5 minutes. Add fennel bulb, bell pepper, carrot, mushrooms, tomatoes, olives, basil, oregano, salt, cinnamon and pepper.

Reduce heat, cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 4 minutes. Add vinegar, stir well and cook 1 minute.

Serve over couscous if desired, and garnish with reserved fennel fronds.
