Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat the oil in a casserole and brown the lamb on all sides. Scoop the lamb out onto a plate, then add the onion and carrots and cook for 2-3 mins until golden. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min more. Stir in the spices and tomatoes, and season. Tip the lamb back in with the chickpeas and apricots. Pour over the stock, stir and bring to a simmer. Cover the dish and place in the oven for 1 hr.
  2. If the lamb is still a little tough, give it 20 mins more until tender. When ready, leave it to rest so it's not piping hot, then serve scattered with pomegranate and herbs, with couscous or rice alongside.

    This is simply amazing. I made it last week to stock up for work. Everyone thinks it is delicious. Even my girlfriend who is not a fan of foreign food said this was the nicest thing she had ever tasted - a definate winner and Im making it again this morning. Someone was asking about replacing the apricots...I love apricots but if you dont maybe you could replace them with dates or prunes? Thanks for the recipe. I also cooked it for slight longer than an hour mmmmm.

    Love this recipe. So easy to make, apart from browing the meat, you just mix all the recipes in a pot and leave to cook in the oven. It came out perfectly and all the family gave it the thumbs up, even my youngest who doesn't like spices. It's not too hot, so it's a great recipe for all the family. I think it would make an impressive dinner party meal too because it tastes like you've spent hours slaving over it!

    I have made this a few times now for dinner parties. It is very easy to make and tastes absolutely delicious. The flavours are great. Tastes even better made the day before you need it. I usually cook it for at least 1 hour and half though. Is just as nice without the pommegranites, but they are a nice touch for a dinner party as they make the dish look a little more impressive.

    Absolutely yummy - enjoyed by whole family. Minimise the spices for younger tastebuds by only using half teaspoon of the spice mix. If there's any left it's fine for packed lunch at work!!

    I made this to feed 12 people used lamb shoulder and it was gorgeous melt in the mouth and rich, I think it would make a great bonfire night dish. I made it the night before serving.

    How easy and tasty this is. I loved it but my family were not so impressed,that was down to some of the ingredients not being favourites of theirs. In saying that they would have it again but with a rice dish rather than couscos (a personal choice.)

    Tried loads of different Tagine recipes and they were so disappointing - but - this one is outstanding. I think it must be the spice mix that takes it to another level. We didn't have enough Apricots, so, added dates and raisins to up the quantity of fruit.

    Delicious! It had about 1hr 20mins in the oven. The ras-el-hanout spice mix was available in the specialist section of Tesco - I had no problems finding it.

    Would it be possible to make the recipe with beef instead of lamb? (I'm a student and can't always afford lamb lol) x
