Ingredients
1.5
pounds
lamb shoulder
cut into pieces
2
tablespoons
Tagine spices
3
carrots
peeled and cut into thick slices
3
cloves
of garlic
minced
2
preserved lemons
cut into slices
Instructions
In a tagine pot, sear the lamb pieces over medium heat until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add the garlic and Tagine spices. Cook until fragrant.
Return the lamb to the pot and add the carrots and preserved lemons.
Cover and simmer on low heat for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Notes
Searing the lamb before slow cooking helps lock in the juices and intensify the flavor.
Don't rush the cooking process. Slow cooking is key to a perfect Tagine, allowing the flavors to develop fully.
Using a traditional clay tagine pot helps to distribute the heat evenly and maintain the right level of moisture in the dish.
Customize your Tagine with your choice of vegetables - bell peppers, zucchini, and tomatoes also work well.
Make sure to serve the Tagine hot. The flavors are best appreciated this way.
