Description

Lamb tagine is a traditional Moroccan dish made with lamb, vegetables, and spices. It's simmered in a tagine pot, which is a heavy clay pot with a conical lid. The conical lid helps to trap the steam and flavors of the ingredients inside the pot, creating a unique and flavorful dish. This slow cooker version of the tagine is a great way to enjoy the flavors of this traditional dish without having to constantly tend to it on the stove.

Prep Time

This recipe requires approximately 15 minutes of prep time. You will need to chop the vegetables, mix the spices, and prepare the lamb for the slow cooker.

The cooked lamb tagine will take approximately 8 hours in the slow cooker. You can start it in the morning and have a delicious dinner ready for you in the evening.
