"Spiced with harissa, a North African chili paste, this comforting stew is spicy, salty, and super savory. You can swap in kale or spinach for the Swiss chard, and use beef instead of lamb. If you don’t like the spice, you can tone it down by cutting the harissa paste in half, or simply leave it out and use tomato paste instead."
