It's the perfect meal for a cool night when you're in the mood for some spice!

North African dishes are making a splash in the health food world, and for good reason. Traditional spices such as turmeric, ginger, and cumin have natural anti-inflammatory properties, which aid in digestion and might even help prevent cancer. Plus, the flavor profile is warm and fragrant with just the right amount of spice, so you'll want to dive right in. This Slow Cooker Moroccan Beef Stew captures the traditional Moroccan flavors in an easy-to-make stew right in your slow cooker. We've included plenty of fresh vegetables, but you can certainly add more to increase the nutrient profile!

This Moroccan beef stew is excellent served over brown rice or couscous with whole wheat pita bread. It's the perfect meal for a cool night when you're in the mood for some spice!
