Instructions
Heat coconut oil over medium heat in a French oven or equivalent (I use a Le Creuset 5.5 Quart). Add onion and peppers and cook until almost tender (4–5 minutes). Add tomatoes, broth, cumin, coriander, cayenne, turmeric, cinnamon, cloves and salt.
Bring to a boil and add the potatoes and squash. Return to boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potato and squash are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat.
Serve over brown rice, topping with cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice.
