Moroccan sweet potato, eggplant and chickpea slow-cooker tagine

Sweet potato and eggplant are cooked to soft, gooey perfection and shine against a backdrop of familiar sweet and savoury flavours in this simple tagine. Tagines are traditionally slow cooked in the earthenware pot for which they are named, so they couldn't be better suited to a slow cooker. More

My first creation since coming home is packed with the best, boldest flavours – spicy jalapenos, tangy lemon and sumac, salty feta, and fresh spring onions, among even more good stuff. It might look light enough, but the combination of falafel and lentils give this meal some serious filling power. Packed into a wrap or eaten straight from the fork, this meal really hits the spot. Ditch the feta and use hommus instead of yoghurt for an (almost) equally delicious vegan option. More
