  I just made this for my tea, it was realy delicious, but I used 3 preserved lemons, smocked paprika, dried apricots and just cherry tomatoes and then once it was all cooked I stripped the chhanks and mixed the meat in with the sauce and I just had to lick the place it was so tasty!!!

  Eked out the lamb to serve 4 using 2 shanks plus tin of chickpeas, serving off the bone. More or less halved the cost and still simple and tasty.

  Tasty and versatile dish. Christened my new tagine with this recipe. I added some dried apricots and shredded cabbage in the final stages of cooking. A simple one-pot meal that got the thumbs up from the whole family and kept washing up to a minimum. Definitely one to try again!

  Wonderful. As only for 2 , made half amount with everything except still added whole tin of cherry tomatoes which meant enough sauce for small amount of soup the next day which we ate with boiled potatoes and green beans!!

  I was a bit disappointed with this recipe, not sure where I went wrong but very runny liquid and a bit tasteless. I halved the recipe for 2 shanks but kept the spices the same, which I am glad I did as a bit feeble really. Meat could have done with a lot longer too. I did not use the dates as we dislike them but used sultanas instead. For me it needs a lot more tweaking.

  I cooked this for a dinner party for 6 people and adjusted the quantities accordingly. Popped everything in the pot and cooked it for about 3 1/2 hours in the oven rather than on the hob and it was absolutely stunning. The flavours were amazing, the meat was falling off the bone and all the plates were clean at the end. A wow factor dinner with minimal effort. Will definitely cook this again. Yum...
