Tagine

This Moroccan Tagine recipe is a flavourful and aromatic dish that will transport you to the vibrant markets of North Africa. It is inspired by the traditional slow-cooking method in a tagine pot, but you can also use a slow cooker or a heavy cast-iron pot. This recipe serves 4 to 5 people and is perfect for a delicious and comforting meal to share with family and friends.

Ingredients

  • 500g of lamb or chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tsp of Tagine Spice Blend
  • 2 medium onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 500ml chicken or vegetable stock
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 1 medium courgette, sliced
  • 1 medium aubergine, diced
  • 100g dried apricots, halved
  • Fresh coriander, chopped, for garnish
  • Cooked couscous or rice, to serve

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the meat with the Tagine Spice Blend. Mix well to ensure the meat is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
  2. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
  3. In a large, oven-safe pot or tagine, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the marinated meat to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and stock, followed by the carrots, courgette, aubergine, and dried apricots.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  7. Garnish with fresh coriander.
  8. Serve hot with couscous or rice.
