Delicious Moroccan lamb tagine with couscous and dates.
Ingredients:
  • 6 frenched lamb shanks
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 5.00 gm paprika
  • 510.00 gm brand real chicken stock
  • 750g sweet potato, peeled, cut into 2.5cm pieces
  • 2 parsnips, thickly sliced
  • 187.50 ml brand pitted dates, halved
  • 82.50 ml coriander leaves
  • 500.00 gm water
  • 500.00 ml couscous
  • 36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 160C (140C fan-forced). In a large flameproof casserole dish over medium heat, heat the oil. Brown the lamb shanks in batches, turning occasionally, then transfer to a plate.
  • Saute the onion until golden brown, then add garlic, cumin, ginger, and paprika. Stir for 30 seconds before pouring in the stock and returning the lamb to the pan. Simmer covered until ready.
  • Place the pan in the oven and bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven, turn the lamb, and add sweet potato, parsnip, and dates. Continue cooking for another hour.
  • * Place water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. * Turn off the heat. Add the couscous, cover quickly, and swirl to combine. * Let it stand for 5 minutes until the water is absorbed. * Uncover, drizzle with oil, and fluff with a fork to separate the grains.
  • Garnish the tagine with fresh coriander and plate it alongside the fluffy couscous.
