Step 1

Arrange the chickpeas on the bottom of the crockpot. Add the potatoes around the interior walls of the crockpot. Place the meat, chicken, eggs and pitted dates in the center.

Step 2

Add all of the spices and mix very well but gently as to keep each ingredient in it's place. Pour in enough water to cover everything. The top of the water should hit around 1/4" above the ingredients.

Step 3

Set the crockpot at a medium temperature and set to cook for 24 hours. Sephardic tradition is to not add any water, even boiling, to the crockpot on Shabbat.
