ALGERIAN GREEN BEAN AND LAMB TAGINE

Algerian Green Bean and Lamb Tagine image

Since trying Chia's Recipe #89278 we discovered just how yummy North African food is! This recipe is from the "The Great Book of Couscous". I have adapted it slightly as I do not like the taste of raw/undercooked tomatoes, but I have also included the original directions. Simple, tasty and hearty- great served over, surprisingly enough, couscous. Enjoy!

Categories Stew

Time 1h40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

3 tablespoons oil
2 lbs boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 1 inch chunks
1 medium onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon saffron (I used 1/4 tsp each) or 1/2 teaspoon turmeric (I used 1/4 tsp each)
4 cups water
1 1/2 lbs green beans, cut into 2 inch pieces (I used frozen)
2 tomatoes, diced or 2 tomatoes, sliced into rounds
1 medium onion, sliced in rings
4 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

Heat oil in a large saucepan or soup pot.
Add the lamb, onion and garlic and sauté until lamb is browned.
Add the salt, pepper, 1 tsp cumin, cayenne and saffron or turmeric and sauté a minute more.
The original recipe calls for the sliced tomatoes to be added with the second onion/parsley/cumin; if you would rather do it this way, do not add them in the following step.
Add water and tomatoes (if using here) and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 45 minutes.
Add the green beans and simmer for about 10 minutes more, until almost tender.
Add the sliced onion, tomatoes (if using here), parsley and remaining 1 tsp cumin.
Simmer for about 10 minutes more.
Serve hot over couscous.

Tips:

When choosing striped bass, look for fish that has bright, clear eyes and moist gills. The flesh should be firm and springy to the touch.
To make sure the fish is cooked through, insert a paring knife into the thickest part of the fillet. The fish is done when the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
If you don't have a tagine, you can use a large Dutch oven or braising pan instead.
Serve the tagine with couscous, rice, or your favorite bread.

Conclusion:

Algerian spiced striped bass tagine is a flavorful and aromatic dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of spices, vegetables, and fish creates a delicious and complex dish that is sure to impress your guests. Whether you are an experienced cook or a beginner, this recipe is easy to follow and will produce a delicious and satisfying meal.
