1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
salt and black pepper
chopped fresh coriander , to serve (Cilantro)

OPTIONAL

2 carrots , peeled & diced (optional)
1 preserved lemon , chopped into small wedges (optional)


Directions:

1. PLEASE NOTE: This recipe lists canned chickpeas in the ingredients, NOT dried! If you use dried chickpeas, you MUST soak them and cook them first!
2. Heat up olive oil in a frying pan/skillet & saute chopped onions & garlic for 5-10 minutes.
3. Add chicken stock & gradually mix in flour or cornflour until well mixed & not lumpy.Add honey & tomato paste & mix well.
4. Add herbs,spices & finely chopped ginger with salt & pepper to taste.
5. Finally add tinned tomatoes & mix well.
6. Pour the above tomato,onion & spice mix into slow cooker or tagine.
7. Add chicken & chickpeas & mix well.
8. Add dried apricots making sure they are covered by juice. (Add the carrots if using.).
9. Give it a gentle but good stir to mix everything together well.
10. Crock Pot or Slow Cooker - Cook on high for about 3 to 4 hours OR automatic with keep warm facility for up to 8 hours. (Please note that the cooking times depend on your crockpot, the cooking times I have suggested work fine with mine which is a Morphy Richards Slow Cooker.).
11. If cooking in a Traditional Tagine, do as above & cook SLOWLY over gas or barbeque for about 2-3 hours.
12.Electric Tagine cooking - same as the slowcooker. If you need to thicken it up towards the end of the cooking time, add cornflour which has been mixed with a little water & add to the tagine - mix well.
13. Serve with freshly chopped Coriander/Cilantro sprinked on top & either with couscous, rice, fresh flat bread, pitta bread or salads. It is also good (if not traditional) served with fluffy pureed or mashed potatoes & pasta.
14. Note: You can use chicken pieces or whole chicken which has been cut up into portions, but you will then need to brown them in a frying pan or skillet beforehand. Preserved lemons make a great addition, add them when you add the apricots and carrots.


I know it is complicated, but this shit is fucking awesome.

[lowthreeohz]

lol isnt the point of a crock pot to set it and leave it alone so you don't spend all day cooking? shit!

toss a roast in that bitch, pour some Worcester sauce on it, add baby carrots, sliced onion, diced potatoes, and any other veggies you want. cook that shit on medium all day, or high for 4-6 hours. eff a bunch of spending much time preparing a crock pot meal!

That ain't complicated, but it seems like it will be good. I think I'll make that next week for my dineers. Watch your back if it sucks though.

I made a seafood paella today that turned out pretty good. I'm doing a roast tomorrow.

[downshift_me]

That does not sound good.

Believe me, I thought the same exact thing and wouldn't try it for a while. I finally tried it after a ton of people said how good it really is. A lot of people eat it on rolls/buns and some with cheese on it, too.

my wife has a simple chicken and dumplings that she made tonight....
i'll get her to post the recipe

I really don't know the exact recipe but you cook a roast with a couple containers of spicey Pico until it is tender and falling apart. If you like beans those can be added as well. Make burritos with it or just eat it with tortillas to soak up the juice.

[oh1bullitt]

Take your favorite lasagna recipe and just build it in the crock pot. For the meat I use half pound of ground beef and a pound of italian sausage. Comes out awesome.
