Fresh ginger and ground cinnamon give this comforting, hearty stew a sweet bite. What is even better: This is an incredibly easy recipe—just toss everything into your slow cooker in the morning, set it on low, and then let your slow cooker do all the work. Your house will smell amazing when you open the door. For a deeper, more robust flavor, add a pinch of saffron threads, which will also tint this stew gold. You can find it in gourmet food stores and some supermarkets. You will need half of a lemon to yield enough fresh juice for this recipe.
