Slow Cooker Butternut Squash & Chickpea Tagine

The kind of dinner the slow cooker was made for. Sweet butternut squash, creamy chickpeas, carrots and peppers slowly cook down with warming spices and little pops of apricot into a rich, fragrant sauce. A squeeze of lemon brings everything back to life at the end, with fresh coriander and plenty of runny tahini on top. Even better, this is one of those wonderfully forgiving dump-and-go recipes - perfect for days when you want something nourishing and properly delicious waiting for you, without spending the evening cooking. Cosy autumn dinner, very little effort.
