Lamb Tagine with Prunes

140 min 6 servings Medio
Lamb Tagine with Prunes is a classic dish that melds the rich flavours of tender lamb with the sweetness of prunes, creating a delightful balance that is both comforting and exotic. Originating from Morocco, this dish is known for its aromatic spices and slow-cooked tenderness. The tagine is named after the traditional earthenware pot in which it is cooked. This unique cookware helps in achieving the perfect texture and flavour by locking in moisture and allowing the ingredients to simmer gently over a long period.

Instrucciones

1

Prepare the Lamb

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the lamb chunks and brown them on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Consejo del chef: Do not overcrowd the pot; brown the lamb in batches if necessary.

2

Cook the Onions and Garlic

In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onions and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Consejo del chef: Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.

3

Add Spices

Stir in the cinnamon, ginger, cumin, and turmeric. Cook for 1 minute to release the aromas.

Consejo del chef: Adding the spices early helps to enhance their flavours.

4

Combine Ingredients

Return the browned lamb to the pot. Add the prunes, chicken broth, honey, and lemon juice. Stir to combine.

Consejo del chef: Ensure the lamb is submerged in the liquid for even cooking.

5

Simmer the Tagine

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours or until the lamb is tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally.

Consejo del chef: Check the liquid level during cooking; add more broth if necessary.

6

Finish and Serve

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with toasted almonds and chopped cilantro before serving.

Consejo del chef: Serve hot with couscous or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
