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).
Afgan Stew in a slow cooker
Serves 6
Easy
Total time:
The stew is very easy to prepare and has wonderful spices. If you find the sauce isn't spicy enough then I would just add more to taste. I cooked my stew in the slow cooker for about 5 hours on high and the meat was meltingly tender and the sauce wonderfully rich. Not my own recipe though I have modified it slightly, it is a firm favourite in our household
