It’s me Darren and I’m back again. This time I’m going to show you something exotic. So, What’s for Dinner?
All the way from Morocco. This dish has so much flavour. So, there’s just a few steps before you get to enjoy my Lamb Tagine. Ok so step one, veggies.
So I’m going to dice some onion, some carrot, and some celery. A splash of olive oil in the pan and I’m going to cook these over a really low heat probably for about 10 to 15 minutes. I’m going to add a pinch of salt and pepper just at the start.
Ok next the lamb, star of the show, ok I’ve got boned shoulder of lamb that I’ve just bought from Coles, all the hard work is done. Cut this into large pieces. Ok so that’s done.
Time to add garlic to our veggies, I’m just going to grate them in using a fine grater. Time to get spicy.
I've toasted my coriander and cumin seeds and if ground them to my palate of spices, which is ground turmeric, ground cinnamon and ground ginger. I’m just going to add this this to the pan and stir it in.
Ok I’ve just turned up the heat and it smells incredible already.
Going to add the lamb pieces. And what we are going to try and do is coat the lamb with the spices and the veggies.
Next, I’m going to add my thyme, just going to chuck the whole lot in there and I’m going to add tinned tomatoes, some chicken stock as well. Oops almost forgot bay leaves.
I’m going to bring this to the boil and then put a lid on it and pop it into an oven that’s been pre-heated to 160 degrees.
It’s been cooing for about an hour now, so I’m just going to have a little check to see how it’s going.
Oh wow! Awesome. I reckon it’s got about half an hour to go and what I’m going to do is cook it without the lid for that half and hour, just to reduce the liquid down a little bit. It is so tender, it looks amazing smells delicious
Iv got some preserved lemons, some green olives, some harissa, honey.
I’m going to give it a stir.
Now to serve, I’ve steamed some cous cous, got coriander, some parsley and we are ready to go.
So fragrant, a little bit spicy, it's perfectly balanced this is absolutely delicious. I feel like I’ve been transported over to Marrakesh.
