  Never used tumeric in an afghan dish before. Usually it's cumin and saffron with lots of fresh coriander. However will definately try out my slow cooker with this method.

  I made this yesterday, I used the suggested ingredients, except I used stewing lamb which was a little fatty. It was in the Slow cooker for 5 hours on high, and a further 2 hours on low, due to the time my partner came home, but was delicious and I would definitely do this again. My only comment would be that stews are always quite thin in texture, I would prefer it to be slightly thicker, so I would thicken it a bit. I had some of the leftovers for my lunch today, and it was still lovely, I may also add more of the spices next time, as I couldn't taste anything other than the lamb flavour.

  Couldn't get red peppercorns so used ordinary black. I was disappointed with the lack of flavour from this stew, but the lamb meat was so soft, it just fell apart (used leg meat).
