Morrocan Stew

2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 can (28 ounces) chopped tomatoes with juice
1 cup dried chickpeas
2 1/2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons coriander
2 cinnamon sticks
4 carrots, peeled and diced
1 red pepper, seeded and diced
1 bunch kale, chopped and tough stems removed
1 bunch parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
Black pepper to taste
1/2 roast chicken, skinned and boned (optional)

Directions: Add the olive oil, onion, carrots, red pepper, garlic, spices, chick peas, tomatoes and juice, cinnamon sticks, and chicken broth to the slow cooker. Cook on high for 6 hours. Twenty minutes before serving, when the cooker is just on the "warm" setting, add the kale. (This is a good time to prep the rice: add 1 cup of basmati rice, 2 cups of chicken or vegetable stock, and a pinch of saffron in a pot, cover, bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes). Just before serving, add parsley and season to taste with the salt and pepper. Remove the cinnamon sticks and serve over rice with the optional roasted chicken.

This recipe yields 4 servings I have tried this recipe and it is really yummy.. It came from my Shape magazine!

Crock pot corned beef and cabbage!.... I trim all the fat off the corned beef, cube it, parsnips instead of potatoes to save some calories, cut up carrots and throw it all in with a bit of parsley, a bay leaf, and 2-3 cups of water. I cook it on low for 6 hours then add some wedges of cabbage and cook for another 1-2 hours.

True!

I've made the Santa fe chili, chicken cacciatore and corned beef and cabbage from that site, all successfully.

I just posted one of my favorite crock pot recipes but I'll add it here also!

Ingredients
dry pinto beans 1lb/454g
One large red onion, chopped ~11oz/312g
Coursely chopped fresh garlic 3oz/80g
Chopped green chiles 1oz/30g
Diced Roma tomatoes ~14oz/390g (4 medium sized)
Skinless/boneless chicken breast cubed or in cut into small strips 1.25lb/567g (about 2 breasts)
Salt and Spices (optional)

Cook pinto beans on low heat for about 12 hours or until tender. For seasoning I usually add a variable amount of one or more of salt, ground pepper, chipotle, habanero or anything else that looks appetizing. You'll have to experiment to see what you like. Add all ingredients and stir thoroughly. Cook for another 3-6 hours keeping on low heat.

I split it into ~12 8oz bags without much liquid and freeze them flat for easy microwave warm-up.

*You can substitute chicken with pork or beef steak or ground beef or whatever suits your tastes.
