Lamb With Pear Tagine image

Tagine are Moroccan slow-cooked meat, fruit and vegetable dishes which are almost invariably made with lamb, but beef makes a nice alternative. I happened upon this recipe on the Berber Trading Company site while shopping for tagines. I love lamb and Moroccan food and this one looked interesting. This has a really nice flavor and goes well served with a flat bread or rice. Smells heavenly while cooking.

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 onions, peeled and sliced
2 lbs lamb, lean and cut into 2-inch pieces
4 pears, peeled, cored and cut into quarters
water, enough to cover the meat
1/2 cup almonds, slivered
salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cumin, ground
1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1 teaspoon coriander, ground
1 teaspoon ginger, ground

Steps:

  • In a large sauce pan gently fry the onion in the olive oil until soft.
  • Add lamb, ginger, and coriander to the pan and cook until it changes color.
  • Add cumin, black pepper, cinnamon, and water to just cover the meat.
  • Salt to taste.
  • Cover and simmer gently until the meat is tender, about 1.5-2 hours.
  • If there seems to be a bit too much liquid, displace the lid after an hour of cooking.
  • Add the pears to the meat together with almonds. Cook for a further 5 minutes or until the pears are soft.
  • NOTE:.
  • For a different twist on this, you can substitute mixed vegetables of your choice, instead of pear. It would make it more savory than sweet.

I'm not a huge fan of lamb, but I really enjoyed this dish. The pears and spices helped to balance out the gaminess of the lamb. I would definitely recommend this recipe.
