    When I’m fresh out of ideas, I usually turn to the blogs or to Epicurious’ website for their extensive history of recipes from Gourmet and Bon Appetit Magazines. This Moroccan Lamb Shank is a winner, especially since I used my slow cooker!  Here are the ingredients:

    Brown the shanks

    Throw all in slow cooker.  Six hours later, you end up with a luscious, exotic dinner. Serve over couscous or basmati rice.

    Moroccan Lamb Shank with Raisins, Almonds & Honey

    adapted from Epicurious

    2 teaspoons ras-el-hanout spice
    2 teaspoons salt
    3/4 teaspoon black pepper
    3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
    1/4 teaspoon crumbled saffron threads
    3 cups water
    3 lb boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
    1 large onion, coarsely grated (1 cup)
    2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
    2 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
    1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted [margarine], cut into pieces
    1 1/4 cups raisins
    1 1/4 cups whole blanched almonds
    1/2 cup honey
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    Accompaniment: couscous or basmati rice

    1.Whisk together ras-el-hanout, salt, pepper, ginger, saffron, and 1 cup water in a 5-quart heavy pot. Stir in lamb, remaining 2 cups water, onion, garlic, cinnamon sticks, and butter in your slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-6 hours.
    2.  Stir in raisins, almonds, honey, and ground cinnamon, let it cook another 15 minutes on low.  Skim off any excess fat on top.

    Makes 6 to 8 servings.
