Inspired by the wonderful spices and flavors used in Moroccan cuisine, this wonderful stew is a hearty one-dish meal. We like to double the recipe and freeze one portion for later. You can also save time, by combining all of these Moroccan spices in bulk and having the mixture on hand to use in this stew recipe, as well as others, like lamb burgers, grilled salmon, and meat rubs. We typically serve the stew with warm bread and a salad.

Provided by Geema

Categories     Stew

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 lbs lamb stew meat
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups chopped onions
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
3/4 cup orange juice
1/3 cup red wine
1 large orange
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • Combine salt, pepper, cinnamon and allspice in a medium bowl.
  • Add the lamb and stir to coat with the spice mixture.
  • Heat olive oil in a heavy, large pot over medium high heat.
  • Working in batches, add lamb to the pot and brown on all sides, about 4 minutes for each batch.
  • Return all the lamb to the pot.
  • Add onion, garlic and ginger to the stew and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the wine and orange juice and bring to a boil.
  • Cover and reduce heat to a simmer, cooking for about 1 hours and 30 minutes, stirring every once in a while.
  • Grate the peel from the orange and set aside.
  • Segment the orange cutting off all the bitter white pith, and chop coarsely.
  • Add oranges and grated peel to lamb, cooking about 20 more minutes.
  • Stir in the parsley and honey, and more salt and pepper to your taste.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, flavorful lamb, ripe vegetables, and aromatic spices.
  • Brown the lamb before stewing it. This will help to develop its flavor and give the stew a richer color.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker. The lamb needs room to cook evenly. If you're using a small slow cooker, you may need to cook the lamb in batches.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. This will add flavor, color, and texture. Some good options include carrots, potatoes, celery, and onions.
  • Season the stew well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and spices like cumin, coriander, and paprika.
  • Cook the stew on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. This will give the lamb time to become tender and the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the stew with your favorite sides. Some good options include rice, couscous, or crusty bread.

Conclusion:

Slow Cooker Moroccan Lamb Stew is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The lamb is tender and flavorful, and the vegetables are cooked to perfection. The stew is also very versatile. You can add or remove vegetables as you like, and you can adjust the spices to suit your taste. This stew is sure to become a family favorite.
