"I made this the other night thinking it would be a quick week-night meal. While it turned out tasting fantastic, it took over an hour from start to finish. This is definitely not a 30 minute meal.

I never thought I was a particularly slow chopper... who can honestly say that they can chop 1 pound of mushrooms, 1 zucchini, 1 onion and then peel and grate 8oz of cheese, 2 pounds of potatoes and another onion in just 10 minutes? The prep time here is more like 20 - 30 minutes.

I usually have a tough time frying things (I don't think my pans are really well suited to it) and these were no exception. They either stuck to the bottom or were undercooked, but those that did come out tasted great with the stew on top. The cumin really makes this dish if you ask me (and I was very generous with the salt/pep too.
