"Not quite a fridge clean-out situation, this extremely flexible stew can use up much of what you’ve got on hand It’s vegetarian by nature, but feel free to start the pot with sausage, slab bacon or leftover ham if you’re feeling more omnivorous If you can’t find harissa, use tomato paste and a pinch of red-pepper flakes for spiciness...."
