In Morocco, tajines - or stews - are made in shallow earthenware cooking pots. Stewing in a slow cooker produces similar deep-flavoured and tender results. This is one of our most-requested recipes.

- 1 cup chicken broth , or bouillon
- 1/2 cup pitted green olives , optional

Instructions
- Trim fat from meat, then cut into similar-size chunks. Place in bowl of slow cooker. Add garlic, carrots, potatoes, onions, cumin, paprika, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, salt, chili flakes, broth and olives. Stir until well mixed.
