An aromatic blend of flavors that's simply to die for.
If you’re looking for a dose of healthy veggies, then you’ll love this fragrant and warmly spiced tagine. While it’s meat free, you’ll be surprised that this is one of many vegetable dishes that your slow cooker was made for. It’s aromatic, and has a complex blend of flavors that compliment the Moroccan root veggies well. You can serve it with brown rice or couscous, but it’s delicious on its own. Feel free to experiment with the vegetables in this dish; cauliflower, parsnips, or carrots would work nicely here.
