Slow-Cooker Chickpea Tagine image

While traveling through Morocco, my wife and I fell in love with the complex flavors of the many tagines we tried. Resist the urge to stir this dish too much, as it will break down the veggies. Add shredded cooked chicken in the last 10 minutes, or serve with grilled fish. -Raymond Wyatt, West St. Paul, Minnesota

I used canned chickpeas in this recipe and it worked great. I think this recipe would also be good with dried chickpeas, but you would need to cook them first.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.
