Healthy Moroccan Slow Cooker Recipe

For years I have been learning to use a pressure cooker to make all the Moroccan recipes I learn from my sisters-and mother-in-law and was always hesitant about switching over to a slow cooker. There are so many slow cooker recipes but I really love Moroccan food for it’s natural ingredients and health-improving spices. Oh, there are cans in my cupboard, but they are dwindling, and are mostly for beans in a pinch or soup.

is used in Middle Eastern cooking in both savory and sweet foods.
