Lamb Tagine instructions
- Prepare ingedients. I discovered I had no saffron so substituted a star anise. And used a Knorr stock pot instead of a veg cube..
- Using a heavy bottomed pan or casserole heat the oil and add the onions and carrots. Cook for 3-4 minutes to soften..
- Add the meat to the pan and brown the cubes thoroughly..
- Add the spices and chopped garlic and stir to coat the meat. Cook for a few minutes to release the flavours..
- Add the honey and apricots and stir..
- Now add the stock cube and about 500ml boiling water to cover the meat.
- Cover and simmer for an hour. Remove lid and cook gently a further 30 minutes..
- At this stage the dish can be cooled or frozen until you want to serve it..
- To serve choose two (or more!) of the following: couscous, diced sweet potatoes boiled or roasted butternut squash, diced or roasted boiled white or brown rice, green salad.
- Reheat the tagine carefully and scatter chopped parsley and/or roasted pine nuts before taking to the table. This time I served with spinach which was waiting in fridge for a good monent..
