Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 lamb shanks (3 pounds 5 ounces/1.5 kg total)
2 medium onions (10 1/2 ounces/300 g total), halved and cut into thin wedges
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
Good pinch of saffron threads
Sea salt
1/4 cup (60 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 bunch flat-leaf parsley (2 ounces/50 g), most of the bottom stems discarded, finely chopped
1/4 bunch cilantro (2 ounces/50 g), most of the bottom stems discarded, finely chopped
1 pound 2 ounces (500 g) new potatoes, scrubbed clean and left whole if very small or halved if medium
9 ounces (250 g) fresh or thawed frozen petits pois (see Note)
Moroccan bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the shanks, onions, garlic, spices, and a little salt into a large pot. Add water to barely cover, about 4 cups (1 liter) and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 30 minutes. Turn the shanks over in the sauce and cook for another 15 minutes. Turn the meat again and cook for another 15 minutes, or until the meat is tender. If the shanks are not tender after an hour, cook for 15 to 30 minutes longer, adding a little more water.
  • When the meat is tender, add the herbs (reserving a little cilantro for garnish) and potatoes and cook for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are just done. Add the peas and cook uncovered for another few minutes, until the peas are cooked. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the sauce is still runny, let it bubble hard uncovered until the sauce has thickened.
  • Transfer meat and vegetables to a serving dish. Garnish with the reserved cilantro and serve very hot with Moroccan bread.

MOROCCAN LAMB TAGINE



Moroccan Lamb Tagine image

One of my favorite winter dinners is a warm, satisfying bowl of stew. And I'm not alone; if you think about it, each nationality has its own version of meat and vegetables simmered in one big pot, whether it's classic Irish beef stew or French beef bourguignonne or Texas chili. One night I came across a recipe for Moroccan lamb tagine in, of all places, an Australian cookbook called Bills Sydney Food. I was feeling adventurous and decided to play around with my own version of it using lamb shanks, Yukon Gold potatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut squash and lots of Eastern spices. I can't think of a more delicious, comforting dinner to serve to family or friends on a cold night. And the best part is that you can make the entire pot a day ahead of time, refrigerate it and just reheat it slowly on top of the stove. All you'll need to make that night is some couscous!

Time 3h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Good olive oil
6 small frenched lamb shanks (5 to 6 pounds total)
3 cups chopped yellow onions (2 large onions)
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 (4-inch) cinnamon stick
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, such as San Marzano
2 cups good chicken stock, preferably homemade
2 tablespoons light brown sugar, lightly packed
4 (1/2-inch-thick) slices of lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, unpeeled and 1-inch-diced
1 pound butternut squash, peeled and 1-inch-diced
1/2 pound sweet potatoes, unpeeled and 1-inch-diced
Couscous, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a very large (12-to-13-inch) pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset. Pat the lamb shanks dry with paper towels. In batches, add the lamb shanks to the pot and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side, until they are nicely browned. Transfer to a plate and brown the remaining shanks, adding a little more oil, if necessary. Transfer all the shanks to the plate and set aside.
  • Add the onions and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, adding more oil, if necessary. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for just 30 seconds. Add the chili powder, turmeric, cumin, cardamom and cinnamon and cook for one minute. Stir in the tomatoes and their liquid, the chicken stock, brown sugar, lime, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Add the potatoes, butternut squash and sweet potatoes and bring to a boil. Place the lamb shanks in the pot, spooning some of the sauce and vegetables over the shanks. (They will not be completely submerged.) Cover the pot and bake for 3 hours, until the lamb shanks are very tender. Serve hot with couscous.

LAMB WITH PEAR TAGINE



Lamb With Pear Tagine image

Tagine are Moroccan slow-cooked meat, fruit and vegetable dishes which are almost invariably made with lamb, but beef makes a nice alternative. I happened upon this recipe on the Berber Trading Company site while shopping for tagines. I love lamb and Moroccan food and this one looked interesting. This has a really nice flavor and goes well served with a flat bread or rice. Smells heavenly while cooking.

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 onions, peeled and sliced
2 lbs lamb, lean and cut into 2-inch pieces
4 pears, peeled, cored and cut into quarters
water, enough to cover the meat
1/2 cup almonds, slivered
salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cumin, ground
1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1 teaspoon coriander, ground
1 teaspoon ginger, ground

Steps:

  • In a large sauce pan gently fry the onion in the olive oil until soft.
  • Add lamb, ginger, and coriander to the pan and cook until it changes color.
  • Add cumin, black pepper, cinnamon, and water to just cover the meat.
  • Salt to taste.
  • Cover and simmer gently until the meat is tender, about 1.5-2 hours.
  • If there seems to be a bit too much liquid, displace the lid after an hour of cooking.
  • Add the pears to the meat together with almonds. Cook for a further 5 minutes or until the pears are soft.
  • NOTE:.
  • For a different twist on this, you can substitute mixed vegetables of your choice, instead of pear. It would make it more savory than sweet.

LAMB TAGINE WITH PEARS

Sweet pears make an unexpectedly delicious foil for tender braised lamb shoulder in this stew-like dish. A trio of spices -- ginger, cinnamon, and saffron -- impart a wonderful aroma as the tagine simmers.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Lamb Recipes

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 pound whole shallots, peeled

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon saffron
4 firm pears, such as Comice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add shallots, and saute until lightly browned. Add lamb, and cook until browned all over. Add just enough water to cover (about 3 cups). Season with salt, pepper, ginger, cinnamon, and saffron. Simmer, covered, over low heat until lamb is very tender, about 1 hour. If the sauce needs to thicken, uncover, and cook for 15 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, quarter and core pears, but do not peel them. In a large skillet, heat butter and remaining tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add pears, and cook until cut sides have caramelized. Place pears, skin-side up, on top of meat in the skillet. Continue to cook, covered, until pears are very tender, about 30 minutes. Be sure not to overcook pears or they will fall apart. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb: Opt for lamb shoulder or leg as they are suitable for slow-cooking and provide tender and flavorful meat.
  • Brown the lamb: Before adding the lamb to the tagine, brown it in a large pot or skillet over medium-high heat. This step helps develop a rich, caramelized flavor.
  • Use a variety of spices: Moroccan cuisine is known for its aromatic spices. Be generous with the cumin, turmeric, paprika, and ginger to create a flavorful and complex dish.
  • Add vegetables and fruits: Incorporate vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and peas, and fruits like apricots or prunes for a balanced and colorful tagine.
  • Cook slowly: Tagines are traditionally cooked over low heat for an extended period of time. This allows the flavors to meld and the meat to become fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Serve with couscous or bread: Couscous is a classic accompaniment to tagine, but you can also serve it with fluffy rice or crusty bread for soaking up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Lamb tagine with potatoes and peas is a delightful and aromatic dish that showcases the vibrant flavors of Moroccan cuisine. It is a perfect meal for a cozy dinner party or a casual family gathering.
