Tagine domba

Recipe video above. My favourite of all tagines! The ras el hanout spice mix is sheer perfection with lamb, and slow cooking works wonders to develop rich flavours in the sauce and make the lamb fork tender. Serve over couscous for a stunning Moroccan meal. Your house will smell amazing!-> Also s

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°F/350°F (160°C fan). (Note 6 re: other cook methods)
  2. Spice mix - Mix the ingredients in a bowl then set aside.
  3. Brown lamb - Toss lamb with the salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large oven-proof dutch oven (with a lid) over high heat. Brown the lamb in 3 batches, turning to colour the pieces all over, about 3 minutes. Remove into a bowl, then repeat with remaining lamb. Set aside.
  4. Aromatics - Turn heat down to medium high. Add onion and garlic, cook for 3 minutes until soft. Add tomato paste, ginger, cinnamon and spice mix. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Sauce - Add chicken stock and water, stir, then return the lamb into the pot.
  6. Slow cook 1 hr 45 min - Bring to a simmer, cover with a lid then cook in the oven for 45 minutes. Add apricots, put the lid back on and cook for another 1 hour, checking halfway to ensure the sauce hasn't reduced all the way (if you're concerned, add 1/2 cup water).
  7. Lemon finish - Lamb should be tender - check! Gently stir in lemon zest.
  8. Serve over plain couscous, sprinkled with almonds and coriander.
