Moroccan Lamb Tagine
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Lamb is by far my favourite meat; there is just something about the smell of it cooking that takes me right back to my childhood. It is quite a fragrant, somewhat ‘perfumey’ meat, for want of a better word, that can be a bit of an acquired taste. However, when prepared well, lamb is succulent and rich in flavour. Lamb tagine is comfort food to me, and the addition of all the warm, heady spices, the vegetables, and the fruit makes this dish a perfect dinner on a cool autumn night.

A tagine is a cooking method similar to a stew in manner and appearance. The name is derived from the earthen wear pot in which the stew is cooked. The shape of the pot allows the trapped steam to condense and remain in the dish, so a minimal amount of cooking liquid is needed to produce a stew. Although handy to have, a tagine is not necessary to achieve a slow-cooked savoury stew; any casserole dish with a lid may be used in its place.

This Moroccan Lamb Tagine recipe uses spices that bring out the warm, rich lamb flavour. Because it’s so rich and strong in flavour, lamb meat can handle a lot of spice without detracting from its unique taste. Ras-el-Hanout is the name of the spice blend used in Moroccan cuisine and this recipe.

It’s made with cumin, coriander, cardamom, peppercorns, turmeric, and red pepper flakes, as well as a variety of other spices, depending on where the blend is purchased. You can make your blend by toasting spice seeds and blitzing them together in a spice mill ahead of time, or if you prefer, just use store-bought pre-ground individual spices. Adding dried apricots brings out the sweetness in the meat, and the fruitiness balances out this spicy dish wonderfully.
