Healthy Moroccan Slow Cooker Recipe

Healthy Recipes

Here are a few very delicious healthy Moroccan slow cooker recipes!

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.

A natural extract made from the distillation of orange blossoms. Orange flower water
is used in Middle Eastern cooking in both savory and sweet foods.

This Moroccan slow cooker recipe for rice pudding was adapted from SimplyStated, a blog from Real Simple.

    Thank you for posting this! I have been looking for a slow cooker rice pudding recipe from a more traditional source – middle eastern-ish. I love rice pudding, but standing at the stove for almost an hour is not fun.

    Yummy! I really must get myself a crock pot. I’m in the process of writing about a great Moroccan-insprired cookbook written in memory of a wonderful grandma. I’ll have to save these recipes too!
