- Add the plum tomatoes and broth and bring everything to a boil for 5 minutes or so.
- Cover the pot and place in the 350 degrees F heated-oven for 1 ½ hours (check partway through to add water or broth if needed). Now stir in the chickpeas, cover and return to the oven for another 30 minutes.

- A simple Mediterranean salad like Fattoush makes a great starter for this hearty meal. Enjoy!

BEEF AND LAMB STEW
I asked for this recipe after a recent trip to South Africa with my church. This stew includes lots of fresh garden vegetables and meat. I've made it for my friends on several occasions, and they thought it was great and enjoyed the interesting combination of flavors. It's traditionally served with brown rice or pumpkin fritters.-Dennis Kuyper, Creston, Iowa

CROCK POT BEEF CASSEROLE
Easy crock pot recipe that makes tender, savory chunks of beef. Recipe was included in a book that came with my crock pot. You could probably add mushrooms too. The cook time is a guess-timation. The directions actually state to cook on "auto-shift" for 6-7 hours but not all crocks have the "auto-shift" option.

Tips:
- Use high-quality meat: Opt for grass-fed beef or lamb for a more flavorful and nutritious dish.
- Sear the meat before slow cooking: Searing adds a delicious caramelized crust to the meat and helps lock in its juices.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. Root vegetables like carrots and potatoes are classic choices, but you can also try adding leafy greens, peppers, or squash.
- Choose a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid adds moisture and flavor to the casserole. Use a combination of broth, wine, and herbs for a rich and complex flavor.
- Cook on low and slow: Slow cooking allows the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender and fall-apart.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Crock-Pot beef or lamb casserole pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
