Afgan Stew in a slow cooker

Afgan Stew in a slow cooker

The stew is very easy to prepare and has wonderful spices. If you find the sauce isn't spicy enough then I would just add more to taste. I cooked my stew in the slow cooker for about 5 hours on high and the meat was meltingly tender and the sauce wonderfully rich. Not my own recipe though I have modified it slightly, it is a firm favourite in our household

    Never used tumeric in an afghan dish before. Usually it's cumin and saffron with lots of fresh coriander. However will definately try out my slow cooker with this method.

    mmmm, spot on! Like previous comment - I added chopped coriander leaves (as garnish) - delicious with home made garilc bread or naan.
