Moroccan Beef Crockpot Stew with Okra

Now that I have made it twice this month, I have stablized the recipe. In Morocco this is made in a tagine, but I don't have one yet.

1 lb Beef stew meet, cut into 1" cubes
1 lb can Crushed tomatoes
1 tbsp. Pensey's BERBERE seasoning (Ras El Hanout)
1 tbsp. Harrisa (Tunisian chile paste) seasoning
1 cup whole Olives
1 lg Onion cut in quarters
1 cinnamon stick
5 cloves, Garlic diced

1/2 lb. Fresh Okra
1/2 cup, Raisins


1. Dump everything except okra and raisins in 4-quart crock pot. You do not need to brown the meat.

2. Cook on high for 5 hours. Add okra and raisins and cook for couple more hours. It's done when the meat is tender. 

3. Serve with rice or couscous.
