  • Notes:

    I always skip the browning step. I'm sure it adds flavor, but if I'm using my slow cooker it's usually because I don't have time to stand over the stove. I throw everything in the slow cooker (except the olives and lemon rind which get added at the end). It has always come out just fine. We love to serve this with slices of naan or pita bread.
