WHB #73: Moroccan-Inspired Vegetable and Chickpea Stew

WHB

This week the newly married Anna from Morsels & Musings is hosting Kalyn’s Weekend Herb Blogging. I wish her and her husband all the best and hope they had a lovely wedding.

I could not resist and bought a new cookbook: Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker:<* At first I tried a recipe with my favourite herb: parsley.

Really delicious. I used slow cooked chickpeas, apple slices for the dried fruit and omitted the green olives by special request.

    a new slow-cooker cookbook!
    What’s more fun than getting a new cookbook? I don’t even want to admit how many I have, but it’s a lot! This sounds very good; I like the idea of adding the dried fruit at the end.
