Method

  1. Heat a large, non-stick frying pan. Cook the lamb well on all sides without adding extra oil. Tip in the spices, then fry for 1 min more until aromatic.
  2. Pour in the chopped tomatoes and parsley, bring to the boil, then simmer gently, with a lid on, for 30 mins or until the lamb is tender. Serve sprinkled with more parsley.

Fruity chicken with coriander

Cut 4 chicken breasts into bite-size pieces and coat in the spice mix, as above. Use 1 tsp olive oil to brown the chicken in a large pan, then add the tomatoes, as before, 85g chopped dried prunes and a good handful of coriander leaves. Bring to the boil, simmer for 20 mins until the chicken is cooked, then scatter with extra coriander to serve.

Spice it up

Why not spice up your dish with a good pinch of dried chilli flakes - simply add them when you add the tomatoes.

    Lovely mild flavour with a rich taste. I used leftover roast chicken and a handful of dates as an adaptation of the fruity chicken with coriander.

    Made this a couple of times allready, but rather than leave it on the stove I put in the oven for two hours, realy tender. The lamb falls apart. You could use a cheeper cut like shoulder using this method.

    This was very nice, but a little watery. Really tasty though and so simple to make.

    Easy to make without any fuss. It turned out to be a nice meal but I felt the tomatoes overpowered everything else. Only got a hint of the spices, maybe I should use more next time.

    We liked this. I cooked it slowly in the oven. Didn't find it watery at all. Maybe depends on the quality of the tomatoes.

    I also fried off a finely chopped onion and a clove of garlic before browning the meat. I used half a teaspoon of ordinary paprika and half of hot paprika as I wasn't sure how hot it would be. I would use all hot paprika next time. Like Deano, I also cooked it in the over (about 2 hours). I served it with couscous to which I added chick peas and parsley. It was delicious.
