Lamb and White Bean Chili

“I created a fresh take on chili using lamb and Moroccan seasoning with a feta and almond garnish. It was so exciting and tasty to my husband and son, I made a second batch almost right away. If you like a spicier chili, add harissa paste or use medium salsa instead of mild.” —Arlene Erlbach, Morton Grove, Illinois

  1. In a large nonstick skillet, cook lamb and onion over medium-high heat 6-8 minutes or until meat is no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain. Transfer lamb mixture to a 3- or 4-qt. slow cooker. Add beans.
  2. In a small bowl, combine salsa, 1-1/2 tablespoons Moroccan seasoning and 3 teaspoons lemon zest. Pour over beans and lamb; stir until well combined. Cook, covered, on low for 6 hours or until onions are tender.
  3. In a small bowl, combine marmalade with remaining Moroccan seasoning and lemon zest; stir into slow cooker. Cook, covered, 15 minutes longer. Sprinkle each serving with parsley, cheese and almonds. If desired, serve with additional red onion and naan or pita bread.
  4. Test Kitchen tips: Replace part of the lamb with additional beans or chickpeas for a lower-cost meal.
