Pear and Pomegranate Lamb Tagine image

Pomegranate, pear and orange go together so well that I decided to use them to prepare a Middle Eastern-themed tagine with lamb. This tastes delicious served over couscous, polenta or cauliflower mashed with feta cheese. -Arlene Erlbach, Morton Grove, Illinois

This tagine was a disappointment. The lamb was tough and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This tagine was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I can see why others might enjoy it. The lamb was tender and the sauce was flavorful, but the sweetness of the pears and pomegranates was a bit overpowering.
