Today I cooked tagine....

I got this recipe from delish.com.  I made it with pork chops since that is what I had on hand.  Tagine is a Moroccan stew and it was cooked in the crock pot.   It was very good, sweet with exotic spices which I love.  I might use canned tomatoes next time because the skins were tough.  Very good dish however.  Here is how it’s made~~~

Ingredients:

1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cut into 2 inch cubes

2 medium tomatoes, coarsely chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

1 15 ounce can of garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup chicken broth

1/3 cup raisins

2 teaspoons ground coriander

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

5 thin, lean pork chops

2 cups plain prepared coucous

1/2 cup green olives

Directions:

In a 6 quart slow cooker, combine squash, tomatoes, onion, garlic, beans, broth and raisins.  Combine the spices and sprinkle over the chops.  Place the chops on top of the vegetables.  Cover and cook according to the manufacturer directions, low 8 hours, high 4 hours.

Ten minutes before serving, prepare coucous according to the package directions.

This is a great fall meal!  Enjoy!
