MOROCCAN LENTIL STEW

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except green beans in a 4-5 quart slow cooker.
• Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours until lentils, squash, and potatoes are tender when tested with knife.
• Increase heat to high setting.
• Stir in thawed green beans, cover and cook for 10-15 minutes until mixture is thoroughly heated and beans are tender.
• If you have a new, hotter cooking crockpot, cook on low for 6-8 hours until lentils and potatoes are tender.
• If the recipe is 'mush' you cooked it too long. And always season food to taste.
• The crockpot mutes spices, so you may need to add more curry powder and cumin before you serve it.
