Slow Cooker Tagine

This is one of those horrible slow cooker meals that make the house smell so wonderful before you leave for work in the morning that you spend the entire day thinking about food.

 

Usually if I am using the slow cooker it means that Dave is on night shifts and sleeping all day. I have always wondered if he dreams about food when the house smells like dinner all day long.

 

I know I would.

 

Serves four

Ingredients
 

2 teaspoons olive oil

2 pounds lamb or beef, cut into one inch cubes

Salt

Pepper

1 large onions, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons paprika

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon coriander

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
