Time 2h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 pounds cubed lamb stew meat
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red onion, quartered and thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup pomegranate juice
3 medium carrots, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
2 medium turnips, peeled and diced
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds

Steps:

  • Toss the lamb with the flour, coriander, cumin, ginger, allspice, cinnamon and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl.
  • Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the lamb, in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding, and brown well on all sides, about 6 minutes per batch.
  • Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook, stirring, until the onions have softened slightly, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Add the pomegranate juice and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add 2 cups water and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook at a bare simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes.
  • Add the carrots and turnips and continue to cook, covered, until the lamb is tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour more. Stir in the cilantro and parsley and season with salt.
  • Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and serve.

I've made this lamb tagine several times and it's always been a hit with my family and friends. It's a great dish for a special occasion or a casual dinner party.

This lamb tagine is a great way to use up leftover lamb. I like to make it with a combination of lamb shoulder and lamb leg. The shoulder gives the dish a lot of flavor, while the leg keeps it from being too fatty.

This lamb tagine is a great make-ahead meal. I like to make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week for dinner. It's also a great dish to take to potlucks or parties.

I followed the recipe exactly and the lamb tagine was a disaster. The lamb was tough and the vegetables were mushy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I tried this recipe and the lamb was a bit tough. I think I might have overcooked it. The vegetables were good though.

I've made this lamb tagine several times now, and it's always a hit with my friends and family. The flavors are so rich and complex, and the meat is always so tender. I love serving it with couscous and a side of roasted vegetables.

This lamb tagine was a delightful culinary experience! The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the carrots and turnips added a perfect balance of sweetness and earthiness. The spices were perfectly balanced, creating a harmonious and flavorful dis
