2 lb lamb or beef stew meat, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)

1 cup pitted dried plums

2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 medium carrots, cut diagonally into 1-inch slices

Steps:

Spray 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Sprinkle lamb with 1/2 teaspoon of the cumin, the turmeric and salt. In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add half of the lamb; cook 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove lamb with slotted spoon; place in slow cooker. Repeat with remaining lamb.
