Do you have a slow cooker (Crock Pot)? If so, it's wonderful. You put in all the ingredients you like (Stews are great...just look up moroccan stew and you'll get lots of flavorful ideas) and hours later, you have a delicious meal and you can freeze the leftovers. Bonus: your home will smell like you've been slaving over the stove. ;)

THe above recipe looks like something I will try but I will substitute the potato with something else..most likely cauliflower. I'll also not use the dried apricots. I will probably double the spices too.
