Ok, delurking to say...I asked my (Moroccan) husband about this
recipe. He said "I saw a recipe for Irish Stew with soy sauce,
teriyaki, ...." and I said, "What makes that Irish?" and he said,
"hahahha".

A more Moroccan version would have ginger, cilantro, no curry or
cardamon and no yogurt and mint garnish. This is not to say that the
dish is not good or tasty, but to call it Moroccan is a stretch.

It was given to me with the Moroccan nomenclature, and since I've
actually forgotten who gave it to me...I can rename it! Any suggestions?

Hmmm. Spicy Vegetable Stew with Almond Fig Couscous?
