Tips

Tips: To toast nuts, spread in a shallow baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake in a 350 degrees F oven for 5 to 10 minutes or until golden, shaking pan once or twice.

For easy cleanup, line your slow cooker with a disposable slow cooker liner. Add ingredients as directed in recipe. Once your dish is finished cooking, spoon the food out of your slow cooker and simply dispose of the liner. Do not lift or transport the disposable liner with food inside.

The instructions mention tapioca but the ingredient list does not include that. How much tapioca should be used? I will probably use cornstarch as a thickener but was interested in the tapioca amount. The recipe sounds awesome! We have some lamb in the freezer so will give this a try soon.
