Step by Step Method

Step 1

Spray a skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Sprinkle lamb with 1/2 teaspoon salt and add lamb to skillet, cooking in batches if needed, cook stirring until lamb is browned (5 minutes). Transfer to slow-cooker. The slow cooker I used was a 5 quart slow cooker.

Step 2

Add onion, garlic and spices (-cayenne) and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to skillet and cook until onion softens (only a few minutes). Add broth to skillet and cook stirring for another minute. Add mixture to slow cooker.

Step 3

Add tomatoes and chickpeas to slow cooker and stir to combine all. Arrange squash on top.

Step 4

Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.

Step 5

If desired sprinkle servings with cilantro.

Delicious! I followed the recipe with one small tweak, in that I used canned peeled tomatoes instead of fresh. The result is wonderful - we both loved the butternut squash in this. I also used lamb stew meat. However, I didn't use a slow cooker, and instead used my instant pot set at 15 minutes. The squash was a bit too soft, so next time I'll cut it back to 12-14 minutes. Bottom line- a delicious and quick comforting stew if you use an instant pot. Thanks for sharing!
