Preparation

Step 1

Combine parsnips, potatoes and beets in a Dutch oven or other large pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large, deep sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add eggplant, onion, garlic, olives and jalapeños; reduce heat to medium and sauté until eggplant is tender, about 10 minutes.

Stir in turmeric, cumin, stock, potatoes, parsnips, beets and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

Remove from heat. Stir in parsley and raisins; season to taste before serving.
