2 lbs lean boneless lamb
2 large onions, cut into wedges
2 cups chopped tomatoes
1 cup carrot, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
2 cups chicken broth
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 (10 ounce) package instant couscous
¼ cup raisins or ¼ cup dried currants or ¼ cup golden raisin

1
Trim fat from meat and cut into 3/4 inch cubes.
2
The recipe does not call for it, but I browned my meat and deglazed the skillet with some of the broth.
3
Place meat and vegetables in 3 1/2 to 4 qt slow-cooker.
4
Add broth and spices.
5
Cover and cook on low for 9 to 10 hours, or on high for 4 1/2 to 5 1/2.
6
I found that 8 hours was enough, and with newer slow cookers, I suggest you check earlier for doneness.
7
If using low heat setting, turn to high.
8
Remove meat and vegetables with slotted spoon and keep warm.
9
Skim fat from the juices and reserve juice in the cooker.
10
Stir the couscous and the raisins into the juices.
11
Cover and cook for 5 to 7 minutes.
12
Note: I just served it with rice, and personally would make the couscous in a saucepan;.
13
If you are going to try the above, I would measure the juices to make sure you don't have too much and that you have enough.
14
Note2: If using bone-in lamb, this will be more like 4 servings.
