Fragrant Moroccan Beef Date Honey and Prune Tagine Crock Pot

tender chunks of beef simmered in a fragrant & fruity broth enriched with honey - a traditional moroccan tagine at it's best! i cook mine in a traditional tagine & an electric tagine; but i realise that not everyone has one, so i have also tested this out in my crock pot; it works really well and is better when cooking larger quantities. the meat becomes meltingly tender and the fruity & spicy smell transports you immediately to morocco........on a magic carpet maybe?? yes, i am waxing lyrical i know - but this tagine is a real winner. it's not particularly seasonal, but i do think that the colder autumn & winter months are a good time to indulge in this north african comfort dish!
