Ingredients
- 2 pounds lamb meat, cut into 1 ½ inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 pinch saffron
- 2 medium onions, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 5 carrots, peeled, cut into fourths, then sliced lengthwise into thin strips
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 lemon, zested
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can homemade chicken broth or low-sodium canned broth
- 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon water (Optional)
Instructions
- 1Place lamb and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large bowl and toss to coat; set aside.
- 2Mix paprika, cinnamon, salt, garlic powder, coriander, cumin, cardamom, ginger, turmeric, cayenne, cloves, and saffron together in a large resealable bag. Add lamb to the bag and toss to coat well. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
- 3Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add 1/3 of the lamb and brown well, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat to cook remaining two batches of lamb.
- 4Add onions and carrots to the pot and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and ginger; continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes. Return lamb to the pot and stir in lemon zest, chicken broth, tomato paste, and honey. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender, 1 ½ to 2 hours.
- 5If the consistency of tagine is too thin, you may thicken it with cornstarch and water slurry during the last 5 minutes.
- 6Serve over couscous.
