  1. Crockpot Method: Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the ras el hanout and tomato paste to the pot and let it cook for 2 minutes, or until the tomato paste starts to caramelize. Instant Pot Method: Press the saute button on the Instant Pot. Add the olive oil and, once hot, add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until it starts to brown. Add the carrots and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the ras el hanout and tomato paste and let it cook for 30 seconds until the tomato paste starts to caramelize. 
  2. Crockpot Method: Transfer everything into your crockpot. Add the sweet potatoes, apricots, ginger, salt, dates, garlic, cinnamon sticks, and 4 cups of water to your crockpot and stir well. Set your crockpot for 8 hours on low.Instant Pot Method: Add the sweet potatoes, apricots, ginger, salt, dates, garlic, cinnamon sticks, and 4 cups of water to your Instant Pot.
