Honey! What's For Dinner?

The question, "What's for dinner?" has got to be one of the most common questions asked in the world. I know it is common in our house anyway. In my quest of good food and learning how to cook, today I have come up with something quite special...and easy. Well, it is easy as long as you are wearing waterproof mascara! I had a small disaster in the making of this meal. Let's just say that a potent onion, and fresh make up didn't mess well this morning when I was throwing everything in the crock pot. So what is this easy to prepare, yummy, creative meal you ask? Moroccan Lamb with Couscous! Sounds good doesn't it? Here is the recipe for you guys to try.

Moroccan Lamb with Couscous

Instructions: Throw all of this in a crock pot and let it cook on slow for 8 hours!

2 medium onions
2 medium carrots, quartered and sliced
1 kg (2.2 lbs) of cubed Lamb shoulder (and meat works for this)
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp chili powder
1, 400 gram can whole tomatoes in juice
1, 400 gram can chicken consomme (chicken stock)
1/2-1 tsp salt

Then using a slotted spoon, transfer veges and meet to a bowl and cover with foil. Turn Crock pot on high until for 10 minutes. Then stir in 250 grams (1 cup) couscous into crock pot and replace lid. Let cook for 20 minutes.

While couscous cooks. Heat 1 tsp olive oil in pan. Stir in 1/4 cup pine nuts and cook until golden brown. Then add 1/4 cup currants (or raisins) and cook a minute longer, or until raisins plump. Stir two thirds of this mixture into cooked couscous.

Serve lamb and vegetables over couscous, and garnish with the remaining pine nuts and raisins. You can even throw some fresh coriander on top to make it pretty!
