Aromatic slow cooker lamb and veg tagine

I'm really excited to share this flavour-packed, juicy, slow cooker lamb and veg tagine with you.

This is a dish that really plays to the saying, a little preparation can go a long way. It takes just a few minutes to get everything ready and then it's just a case of enjoying your day while the ingredients cook together to create something truly delicious, full of rich Moroccan-inspired flavours with succulent lamb that falls off the bone and sweet, aromatic veg.

Traditionally, a recipe like this would be cooked in a tagine, a large, earthenware pot with a conical lid designed to trap steam and return moisture to the dish as it slowly cooks over hot coals. Handily, you can get very similar results with an electric slow cooker, which releases gentle heat and locks in all that beautiful flavour to make everything mouthwateringly tender.

So, with a super quick prep time and a 'set it and forget it' cooking method, what's not to like about this dish? Well, there's still one thing...the pot clean-up, right? Wrong! Thanks to Bakewell Slow Cooker Liners, your pot will be clean as a whistle right after cooking.

It takes seconds to line your dish and you're done. The liners don't affect the taste or cooking time whatsoever, they just keep the pot completely clean and reduce wear and tear.

This is my dish immediately after I served up my tagine.

I fell in love with the liners from the first time I've used them. Slow cooker pots are big and unwieldy and so not the easiest things to clean especially when sauces have baked on to them. With the liners, clean-up time is reduced to pretty much zero, and the bags can be frozen as well as used in the oven, it's a win-win-win-win.

Ingredients

  • 650g boneless leg of lamb, cut into 2-3cm chunks
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 carrot, cut into 2-3cm chunks
  • 1 aubergine, cut into 2-3cm chunks
  • 1 courgette, cut into 2-3cm chunks
  • 1 large potato, cut into 2-3cm chunks
  • 400g tin of chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 75g medjool dates, whole
  • 75g dried apricots, whole
  • 500ml chicken stock

To serve

  • 400g couscous
  • 30g parsley, roughly torn

Instructions

Put the liner into the slow cooker.

Add the lamb.

And all of the spices - ground ginger, ground cumin,  ground coriander, cayenne pepper, ground cinnamon, turmeric and ground pepper and salt.

Stir gently to coat the meat.

Drizzle with the olive oil.

Add the carrot, aubergine, courgette, potatoes, chickpeas dates and apricots.

Pour the hot chicken stock on top.

Stir once.

Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours.

Once all served up, lift out the bag.

Ta da! Totally clean!!

Serve your tagine. Couscous is a perfect accompaniment, along with a few leaves of fresh parsley.

      You can wash them and use them again. Or they can be recycled.
