It’s been a long time since I’ve shared a Moroccan meal recipe and I’m sure you’ll love this one. In Morocco we don’t use a slow cooker often, though lately I’ve been adamant that we need one. With lots of work taking both of us out of the house I miss being able to put dinner in and have it warm and ready when I get home. After 8-10 hours out of the house walking the last thing I want to do at 9pm is figure out something to make.
I’ve had the idea to turn this recipe into a crockpot friendly freezer meal but being without one for a year and a half now meant I had no way to test it out. So I asked my step sister if she would be my tester. She’s a new mom who works from home and both she and her husband love international foods. Perfect guinea pigs!
The easiest way to make this is to gather all of your ingredients ahead of time, then just dump them into the crockpot! I’ve also adapted this so that you can mix everything together in a Ziploc bag and freeze it. When you want to have it for dinner all you’ll need to do is thaw overnight in the fridge and pop into your slow cooker in the morning. Take advantage of low cost frozen beans to shave time off of preparing and still have the same great taste.
A Moroccan tajine adapted for your slow cooker. No need to keep watch while it cooks! **To prepare ahead of time for the freezer, mix the meat, spices, onions, garlic, tomato and olive oil in a large bowl so that everything combines evenly. Then add to a freezer safe storage bag and freeze. Beans should be kept separate. **

Amanda, I am so happy to find your website and try to cook Middle Eastern food on my own. When I lived in the Middle East I loved the foods but now I am not sure what to serve with different dishes. Would you consider photos of dishes with commonly served side dishes, mains, breads whatever and a link to the recipe if you have one to share?
Amanda Mouttaki says
Great idea – I’ll work on this!
Lj says
Is the recipe still available? The link seems to be not working. Thanks!

Salaams. I made this last weekend and it was great. So perfect after a day of fasting. Filling but not heavy. Thanks for sharing and I will definitely be making this again.
Lisa says

Mmmm! I taught kindergarten for 4 years in Casablanca and love Moroccan food. One time our maid made this dish, but I’ve never found the recipe. Finally!!! Thanks so much for posting this.

This recipe looks delish… I’m going to try it with venison this week:)
Rachel says
I’ve got it in the slow cooker right now! Smells amazing already. I will report back.
Rachel says
Tasted wonderful, too. I used fresh cilantro and parsley, and the beef I had took longer to cook than the recipe said, but it was delicious.
Amanda Mouttaki says
Glad you liked it! Maybe should adjust for size of meat (that’s my guess on why it took longer).
Alyson says
That looks amazing, I can almost smell it! Yum.
