SLOW COOKER LAMB AND APRICOT TAGINE
The conical lid of Moroccan tagine (earthenware cooking dish) is designed to retain all the cooking steam, which helps cook meat to a mouth-watering tenderness. The slow cooker works exactly the same way. If you haven't got a slow cooker, follow the same steps below, but cook the onion and garlic in a large saucepan and add the other ingredients to it. Bring to the boil, then cook gently for 2 hours until tender before adding the apricots for a further 30 minutes of cooking.

Heat the butter with the oil in a large frying pan until bubbling and fry the garlic and onion for 5 minutes. Add the spiced lamb and cook, stirring for about 5 minutes until lightly browned all over. 4. Transfer all the pan contents to the slow cooker dish and add the cinnamon stick. Pour over 300ml (½ pt) hot water. Put the cooker lid securely on top, reduce the setting to 'Low' and cook for 5 hours. 5. Remove the lid and stir in the apricots.

TANGY LAMB TAGINE
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
