Slow-Cooked Lamb and Olive Tagine

Thanks to the slow cooker, this Moroccan meal is a cinch to prepare at home. There’s no stovetop prep required—just toss the lamb, apricots, olives, vegetables, and spices into your slow cooker. The slow, all-day simmer ensures the dish is both fragrant and flavorful. Whip up a quick batch of couscous when you’re ready to eat.

How to Make It

Step 1
In a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker, mix together the lamb, carrots, onion, apricots, olives, garlic, flour, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and ½ cup water.

Step 2
Cover and cook until the lamb and vegetables are tender, on low for 8 hours or on high for 5 hours.

Step 3
Ten minutes before serving, cook the couscous according to the package directions. Serve the lamb over the couscous with the pistachios, cilantro, and lemon wedges.
