I love lamb stew, but wanted to try something a bit different, so I created this recipe that uses Moroccan spices. It's a wonderful way to use lamb, and it's easy to make in the slow cooker. The stew tastes even better served a day or two later, when the flavors have really had a chance to meld. -Bridget Klusman, Otsego, Michigan

This recipe was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less lemon juice.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tagine didn't turn out as flavorful as I had hoped. I think I may have used too much cumin.

I love the tangy flavor of this tagine. The apricots and honey add a nice sweetness that balances out the savory spices. I served it over couscous, and it was a hit with my family.
