Experience Moroccan cuisine with our lamb tagine: Rich, flavourful, and infused with almonds and sultanas.

Ingredients:
  • 4 Cloves Garlic

  • 1 Onion

  • 3cm Ginger

  • 1kg Diced Lamb

  • 1 Tsp Garlic Powder

  • 1 Tsp Cumin

  • 2 Tsp Cinnamon

  • 1 Tbsp Ras El Hanout

  • 1 Tsp Harissa

  • Handful Fresh Coriander

  • 100g Almonds

  • 2 Tins Chopped Tomatoes

  • 650ml Chicken Stock

  • 75g Sultanas

  • 50g Chickpeas

  • 450g Rice

  • Oil

  • Salt & Pepper

Method:
  • Step 1

    Marinate the lamb in a bowl with your Ras el hanout, harissa salt and pepper. Leave this to marinate for as long as possible.

  • Step 2

    Finely dice your onion, garlic and ginger.

  • Step 3

    Get some boiling water in a pot and pour your almonds in and boil for 1 minute. Once boiled drain and run under cold water then peel the skins off the almonds, this takes a while but trust us it’s worth the effort.

  • Step 4

    Now toast your almonds until lightly browned and add your lamb. Cook for 5-7 minutes then set aside in your slow cooker for later.

  • Step 5

    In the same pot as you cooked your lamb, fry your onions, garlic and ginger with a pinch of salt for 3-5 minutes.

  • Step 6

    Add in your cumin and garlic powder and give it a stir. Now add both tins of chopped tomatoes, fill both cans with water and pour in as well

  • Step 7

    Pour in your chicken stock, sultanas, chickpeas, cinnamon and a hefty pinch of salt into the pot and give it a mix until it's all combined.

  • Step 8

    Now's the time to add everything from your pot into the slow cooker with the lamb. Cook for 4 hours on medium.

  • Step 9

    Around 20 minutes before you’re ready to serve, pour your rice in a saucepan and add 675 ml of water and a large pinch of salt, put the lid on and simmer for 15 minutes before taking the lid off and turning off the stove.

  • Step 10

    When both are ready, chop up some fresh coriander and scatter it over the top of the tagine. Serve it up and dig in!
