Tangy Lamb Tagine

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 40 min. Cook: 8 hours YIELD: 8 servings.
I love lamb stew, but wanted to try something a bit different, so I created this recipe that uses Moroccan spices. It's a wonderful way to use lamb, and it's easy to make in the slow cooker. The stew tastes even better served a day or two later, when the flavors have really had a chance to meld. —Bridget Klusman, Otsego, Michigan

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds lamb stew meat, cut into 1-1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
