Ingredients

Scale

ΒΌ cup plain flour

1 kg lean boneless diced lamb

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 leeks, trimmed, halved lengthways, and thinly sliced

3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 tablespoon ras al hanout or Moroccan spice

1 cup dry white wine

1 cup chicken stock

1 400 g can of diced tomatoes

1 large or 2 small fennel bulbs, trimmed and chopped into 4 cm pieces

600 g parsnips, peeled and chopped

2 carrots, peeled and cut into 2 cm-thick slices

Mint leaves to serve

Lemon wedges to serve

Couscous to serve

Instructions

1-First Step: Prep and Brown the Lamb Begin by preheating your slow cooker on high. Dust the 1 kg lean boneless diced lamb pieces with the ΒΌ cup plain flour seasoned with salt and pepper, then brown them in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat until golden. Set the lamb aside once done, as this step seals in the juices and adds depth. This technique ensures the meat stays tender throughout cooking.

2-Second and Third Steps: Cook the Vegetables and Build the Base In the same pan, cook the 2 leeks until softened, which takes about 5 minutes. Add the 3 garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon ras al hanout, stirring for one minute to release their aroma. Stir in 1 cup dry white wine, 1 cup chicken stock, and the 400 g can of diced tomatoes, then bring to a boil. This process builds a flavorful base that enhances the entire dish.

3-Fourth Step: Assemble and Cook Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker, then add the browned lamb, 1 large or 2 small fennel bulbs chopped into 4 cm pieces, 600 g parsnips, and 2 carrots cut into 2 cm-thick slices. Mix everything well for even distribution. Slow-cook on high for 4 hours or until the lamb is tender, allowing the spices to meld and flavors to deepen.

4-Final Steps: Serve and Enjoy Once cooked, the casserole should be tender and full of flavor. Serve it garnished with mint leaves and lemon wedges, alongside couscous for a complete meal. This method delivers deep flavors and a fresh finish, making it a hit for any gathering. Remember, a slow cooker does most of the work, so you can relax while it simmers.
