Having started back at work this week after a years maternity leave, I’m already using my slow cooker more and more.

I’m always on the look at for new ideas and I came across this lamb tagine spice mix in our local farm shop. It couldn’t be more simpler and its absolutely delicious.

In your slow cooker, add 500g of diced lamb, a tin of plum tomatoes, a diced onion and the lamb tagine spice mix. Cook on medium heat all day and just before serving add a handful of chopped dried apricots and stir in, allow these a couple of minutes to soften then serve with some rice.
