Lamb Tagine Recipe From Avoca

Method:

1. Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Season lamb with salt and pepper. Working in batches, brown lamb on all sides, about 4 minutes per batch.
2. Transfer lamb to a medium bowl. Add onion to pot, reduce heat to medium, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until soft and beginning to turn golden, about 5 minutes.
3. Add chopped garlic, spices and ginger. Stir for 1 minute.
4. Be careful not to burn spices, as this will result in a bitter sauce. Add orange juice, tomatoes and lamb with any accumulated juices. Bring to a boil.
5. Add fresh chicken stock. Return to a boil, reduce heat to low, partially cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until lamb is tender, about 1 ½ – 2 hours.
6. Stir in chickpeas, apricots & sultanas, simmer until heated through.
7. Add fresh coriander & balance out the flavours with sugar, sea salt & freshly ground black pepper.
8. Best served with fluffy couscous & pita bread to soak up all that lovely sauce!
