Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lb (1-inch-thick) lamb shoulder chops
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups water
1 pinch saffron threads, crumbled
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 large carrots, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
1 small sweet potato, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
2/3 cup pitted prunes
1/2 cup dried apricots (preferably Turkish)
1 medium yellow squash, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
2 teaspoons honey (optional)
Freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Cut lamb from bones, reserving bones, then cut meat into 1-inch pieces.
  • Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a flameproof wide shallow casserole with a tight-fitting lid over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Brown meat on all sides in 2 batches, transferring to a plate as browned. Brown bones and transfer to plate.
  • Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to tagine and cook onion, stirring, until softened. Return meat and bones to pot.
  • Stir in water, saffron, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer mixture, covered, stirring occasionally, until lamb is tender, about 1 1/4 hours.
  • Transfer lamb to a clean plate and add any meat from lamb bones, discarding bones.
  • Add carrots and sweet potato to pot, then simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are barely tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Add ginger, cinnamon, prunes, apricots, and squash, then simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables and fruits are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Return lamb to stew and add honey. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes.

This was my first time making tagine and it turned out great! The lamb was fall-apart tender and the sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

This tagine is a great way to use up leftover lamb. It's also a very forgiving dish, so you can adjust the ingredients to your liking. I often add more vegetables or different types of dried fruit.
