Did you know?

The name tagine is derived from the type of earthenware pot in which the dish is traditionally cooked.

This delicious lamb tagine is a Moroccan-inspired dish made with succulent cubes of lamb, garlic, onions, and a medley of sweet spices.

Ingredients

  • 1kg lamb shoulder cubed
  • 4 potatoes, cubed
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 onions, diced
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
  • 2 tablespoons ras el hanout
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken or beef broth
  • 1 handful fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 handful fresh mint, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a bowl, combine the cubed lamb, garlic, onions, turmeric, paprika, ras el hanout, and cinnamon. Toss to combine.
