Tagines are typical street food in Morocco, and this is the one that is most commonly found. I also use frozen peas, which I blanch in boiling water first.

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 lamb shanks (3 pounds 5 ounces/1.5 kg total)
2 medium onions (10 1/2 ounces/300 g total), halved and cut into thin wedges
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
Good pinch of saffron threads
Sea salt
1/4 cup (60 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 bunch flat-leaf parsley (2 ounces/50 g), most of the bottom stems discarded, finely chopped
1/4 bunch cilantro (2 ounces/50 g), most of the bottom stems discarded, finely chopped
1 pound 2 ounces (500 g) new potatoes, scrubbed clean and left whole if very small or halved if medium
9 ounces (250 g) fresh or thawed frozen petits pois (see Note)
Moroccan bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the shanks, onions, garlic, spices, and a little salt into a large pot. Add water to barely cover, about 4 cups (1 liter) and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 30 minutes. Turn the shanks over in the sauce and cook for another 15 minutes. Turn the meat again and cook for another 15 minutes, or until the meat is tender. If the shanks are not tender after an hour, cook for 15 to 30 minutes longer, adding a little more water.
  • When the meat is tender, add the herbs (reserving a little cilantro for garnish) and potatoes and cook for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are just done. Add the peas and cook uncovered for another few minutes, until the peas are cooked. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the sauce is still runny, let it bubble hard uncovered until the sauce has thickened.
  • Transfer meat and vegetables to a serving dish. Garnish with the reserved cilantro and serve very hot with Moroccan bread.

LAMB TAGINE



Lamb Tagine image

When I made this dish I left the kitchen window open. The smell attracted several male neighbors, and when my husband came in, he said that it smelled so good, he hoped it was coming from our house and not from someone else's! Serve with my Moroccan Couscous and Cucumber Raita on this site.

Time 10h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 24

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 pounds lamb meat, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
2 teaspoons paprika
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 pinch saffron
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon ground coriander
2 medium onions, cut into 1-inch cubes
5 carrots, peeled, cut into fourths, then sliced lengthwise into thin strips
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 lemon, zested
1 (14.5 ounce) can homemade chicken broth or low-sodium canned broth
1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato paste
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Place diced lamb in a bowl, toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and set aside. In a large resealable bag, toss together the paprika, turmeric, cumin, cayenne, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, salt, ginger, saffron, garlic powder, and coriander; mix well. Add the lamb to the bag, and toss around to coat well. Refrigerate at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add 1/3 of the lamb, and brown well. Remove to a plate, and repeat with remaining lamb. Add onions and carrots to the pot and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the fresh garlic and ginger; continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes. Return the lamb to the pot and stir in the lemon zest, chicken broth, tomato paste, and honey. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender.
  • If the consistency of the tagine is too thin, you may thicken it with a mixture of cornstarch and water during the last 5 minutes.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 to 1 1/2 pounds/500 to 700 grams beef, lamb or goat meat (cut into 2- or 3-inch pieces)
2 onions (chopped or sliced)
3 cloves of garlic (finely chopped or pressed)
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro and/or parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon or 1 cinnamon stick
Optional: Pinch of saffron threads (crumbled)
Optional: Cayenne pepper (to taste)
1/3 to 1/2 cup olive oil
----------------------------------------------------
1 pound/500 grams carrots, peeled and quartered lengthwise
1 pound/500 grams potatoes, peeled and quartered lengthwise
2 cups chickpeas (cooked or canned)
1/2 cup red or green olives
1 preserved lemon (cut into quarters and seeds removed)
Garnish: additional parsley or cilantro

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Mix the meat with onion, garlic, cilantro/parsley, spices and olive oil in a pressure cooker. Brown the meat, uncovered, over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add 3 cups of water, cover, and cook the meat with pressure for 25 minutes if using beef, and about 35 minutes if using lamb or goat meat.
  • Add the carrots, adding water if necessary so that the broth almost reaches the top of the carrots. Cover and cook with pressure for about 7 minutes. Add the potatoes and chickpeas, and cook with pressure until the potatoes are tender about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the preserved lemon and olives, and reduce the sauce until it is thick.
  • Transfer the tagine to a large serving platter, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
  • Serve and enjoy!
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Mix the meat with onion, garlic, cilantro or parsley, spices and olive oil in a Dutch oven or pot. Brown the meat, uncovered, over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add 3 cups of water, cover, and simmer the meat for about 1 hour if using beef, and about 1 1/2 hours if using lamb or goat meat. Occasionally check on the level of the broth, and add more water if necessary during the cooking.
  • Add the carrots and enough water so that the broth almost reaches the top of the carrots. Cover and simmer the carrots until almost tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add the potatoes, chickpeas, olives and preserved lemon, and continue simmering, covered, until the potatoes are tender. Uncover and reduce the sauce until thick.
  • Transfer the tagine to a large serving platter, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
  • Serve and enjoy!
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Slice the onion instead of chopping it, and tie the parsley or cilantro into a bouquet instead of chopping it.
  • Pour about half of the olive oil into the base of a large tagine. Distribute the onions over the bottom and then arrange the carrots on top of the onions.
  • In a bowl, mix the meat with the garlic and spices. Place the meat in the middle of the tagine, bone or fatty sides down. Swirl 2 cups of water in the bowl to rinse the spices, and then add this water and the remaining olive oil to the tagine.
  • Top the meat with the parsley bouquet and distribute the olives and preserved lemon wedges over the meat and carrots.
  • Cover the tagine and place on a diffuser over medium-low to medium heat and allow the tagine to reach a simmer. This can take some time so be patient. Once a simmer is achieved, reduce the heat to the lowest temperature necessary to maintain the simmer, and cook for about 3 hours. Add the chickpeas (and a little water if you feel it's necessary), and continue cooking for another 30 to 60 minutes, until the meat and carrots are very tender and the liquids are reduced. Discard the cilantro bouquet, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
  • Serve directly from the tagine. Enjoy!

1kg lamb neck fillet, cut into large chunks
3 tbsp ras el hanout
2 tbsp olive oil, plus an optional drizzle
2 onions, chopped
4 carrots, cut into large chunks
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled and finely grated
2 tbsp rose harissa paste, plus 1 tsp to serve

Steps:

  • Toss the lamb pieces with the ras el hanout and a large pinch of salt to coat. Will keep chilled for up to 4 hrs. Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole over a medium heat and brown the lamb on all sides. (You will need to do this in batches.) Scoop onto a plate using a slotted spoon and set aside, then cook the onions and carrots in the pan for 10-12 mins until soft and golden, adding a drizzle more oil if the pan is dry. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for 2 mins more, then stir in the 2 tbsp harissa and preserved lemon. Cook for another minute until the vegetables are coated in the mixture and sticky. Add the cinnamon, then tip in the tomatoes and bring to a simmer.
  • Cook for a few minutes more until reduced to a thick paste. Tip the lamb and its resting juices back into the pan and pour over the stock. Season and return to a simmer. Put the lid on the casserole and transfer to the oven to cook for 1 hr.
  • Stir in the chickpeas and apricots, if using, cover again and return to the oven for 1 hr until the lamb is tender. Season, then leave the tagine to stand for 10 mins. Will keep chilled for up to three days or frozen for three months. Leave to cool first. Defrost in the fridge overnight before reheating over a low heat until piping hot. Swirl the 1 tsp harissa through the yogurt, then scatter the tagine with the coriander and flaked almonds. Serve with the couscous and spiced yogurt on the side.
