MOROCCAN TAGINE
Tagines are Moroccan slow-cooked meat, fruit and vegetable dishes which are almost invariably made with mutton. Using lamb cuts down the cooking time, but if you can find good hogget (older than lamb, younger than mutton, commonly labeled 'baking legs' and sold cheaply) that will do very well.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Fry the onion in the oil until soft. Add the lamb meat to the pan, and fry until just browned on the outside. Season with cumin, coriander, ginger, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Pour just enough water into the pot to cover the meat. Cover, and simmer over low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until meat is tender and the mixture is stew-like. Displace lid a little after an hour if there appears to be too much liquid.
- Add the pears, golden raisins and almonds to the stew, and cook for another 5 minutes or so, until the pears are soft. Serve with rice.

MOROCCAN LAMB TAGINE
One of my favorite winter dinners is a warm, satisfying bowl of stew. And I'm not alone; if you think about it, each nationality has its own version of meat and vegetables simmered in one big pot, whether it's classic Irish beef stew or French beef bourguignonne or Texas chili. One night I came across a recipe for Moroccan lamb tagine in, of all places, an Australian cookbook called Bills Sydney Food. I was feeling adventurous and decided to play around with my own version of it using lamb shanks, Yukon Gold potatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut squash and lots of Eastern spices. I can't think of a more delicious, comforting dinner to serve to family or friends on a cold night. And the best part is that you can make the entire pot a day ahead of time, refrigerate it and just reheat it slowly on top of the stove. All you'll need to make that night is some couscous!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a very large (12-to-13-inch) pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset. Pat the lamb shanks dry with paper towels. In batches, add the lamb shanks to the pot and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side, until they are nicely browned. Transfer to a plate and brown the remaining shanks, adding a little more oil, if necessary. Transfer all the shanks to the plate and set aside.
- Add the onions and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, adding more oil, if necessary. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for just 30 seconds. Add the chili powder, turmeric, cumin, cardamom and cinnamon and cook for one minute. Stir in the tomatoes and their liquid, the chicken stock, brown sugar, lime, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Add the potatoes, butternut squash and sweet potatoes and bring to a boil. Place the lamb shanks in the pot, spooning some of the sauce and vegetables over the shanks. (They will not be completely submerged.) Cover the pot and bake for 3 hours, until the lamb shanks are very tender. Serve hot with couscous.
MOROCCAN CHICKEN TAJINE
Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix the garlic, cumin, ginger, paprika, salt and pepper, 1/2 cup grated onion, and the oil.
- Rinse the preserved lemons, and remove the pulp. RESERVE the lemon peel for later use.
- Add the lemon pulp to the mixing bowl. Add the chicken. Mix everything together and place in a large plastic bag to marinate overnight in the refrigerator. (Twenty-four hours really gives the chicken the best flavor.)
- In a large Dutch oven or casserole, place the chicken and marinade; add the stems of the parsley and cilantro, the rest of the grated onion, the powdered saffron and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, turn down to a simmer and cook, partially covered, for 30 minutes.
- Remove the cover, stir the chicken and continue to simmer for another 15 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
- Remove the chicken to a serving dish and cover with foil to keep warm. Keep sauce on stove and begin to reduce.
- Slice the preserved lemon peel into thin slices and add to the sauce along with the olives, parsley and cilantro. Reduce until the sauce is just a little thick. This shouldn't take more than 5 minutes at most.
- Uncover the chicken and remove the skin from the chicken. (It doesn't look pretty and who needs the extra fat.) Pour sauce over chicken and serve.
FRAGRANT MOROCCAN BEEF, DATE, HONEY AND PRUNE TAGINE - CROCK POT
Tender chunks of beef simmered in a fragrant & fruity broth enriched with honey - a traditional Moroccan tagine at it's best! I cook mine in a traditional tagine & an electric tagine; but I realise that not everyone has one, so I have also tested this out in my crock pot; it works REALLY well and is better when cooking larger quantities. The meat becomes meltingly tender and the fruity & spicy smell transports you immediately to Morocco........on a magic carpet maybe?? Yes, I am waxing lyrical I know - but this tagine is a real winner. It's not particularly seasonal, but I do think that the colder autumn & winter months are a good time to indulge in this North African comfort dish!

Steps:
- Par-boil the carrots in boiling water for about 3 -5 minutes.
- Preheat the electric Tagine or crock pot to High.
- Heat up half of the olive oil in a large frying pan and quickly brown the onion quarters over a fairly high heat until charred & coloured well. Tip them into the crock pot.
- Add the chopped garlic & par-boiled carrots to the onions in the crock pot.
- Make up 1/2 pint of stock with a beef stock cube. Add the honey to the the stock & ALL the dried spices. Tip the honey & spiced stock into the crock pot & mix well. Add the cinnamon stick.
- Add the tinned tomatoes, dates & prunes to the crock pot - mix well.
- Heat up the remaining olive oil and brown the beef cubes in small batches to sear & seal them. As you finish browning them, add the beef to the crock pot.
- When you have finished browning all the beef, give the whole mixture a good stir & season with salt & pepper.
- Cook on high for between 6 & 10 hours depending on your crock pot's wattage & settings.
- Serve the beef tagine with fluffy couscous and garnish with the chopped fresh coriander & toasted flaked almonds. It also works well with rice too.
- P.S. Watch out for the cinnamon stick! We sometimes award the lucky winner of the cinnamon stick with an extra glass of wine!
- P.P.S. You can use dates & prunes which have not been pitted, they do tend to hold their shape better too, just warn your guests that they must look out for the stones!

10 MOROCCAN TAGINE RECIPES THAT YOU HAVE TO TRY
From thespruceeats.com
- Chicken With Preserved Lemon and Olives. This dish is one that you'll return to making time and again, and that's exactly what Moroccans themselves do whether cooking a weekday meal for their own families or preparing a larger spread of food to serve to guests.
- Lamb or Beef With Prunes. Even if you don't normally think to reach for prunes at the grocery store, you'll definitely want to add them to your shopping list so that you can try this fabulous dish.
- Chicken and Apricot Tagine. Here's another sweet-and-savory combo that is sure to please the palate of even picky eaters. Chicken is slowly cooked until tender with onions, garlic, saffron, ginger, and cinnamon and then topped with dried apricots that have been poached in syrup.
- Classic Fish Tagine With Chermoula and Vegetables. A zesty Moroccan marinade called chermoula tagra is used in place of cooking in a tagine. Continue to 5 of 10 below.
- Moroccan Meatball Tagine in Tomato Sauce. If you've been hesitant to dig into a tagine the Moroccan way—with a chunk of crusty bread for dipping—this comfort food favorite might just compel you to do so.
- Vegetarian Chickpea and Carrot Tagine. This easy tagine with chickpeas and carrots never fails to elicit compliments. Picquantly seasoned with a touch of sweetness from cinnamon and honey, you'll find it's the perfect vegetarian entrée or side dish.
- Chicken, Lamb, or Beef Tagine With Peas and Artichokes. Veggie-laden tagines are the Moroccan equivalent of a one-pot meal or stew. In the winter months, peas and artichokes are in season, and they are often paired in dishes such as this one.
- Berber Tagine With Vegetables. Lamb or beef is hidden under a conical arrangement of seasonal veggies in this impressive everyday Berber-style dish. Be sure to use a clay tagine to add earthy, satisfying flavor to that provided by preserved lemon, olives, and generous Moroccan seasonings.
- Merguez Sausage and Egg Tagine. Humble eggs conquer the main-dish status when cooked with onions, tomatoes, and spicy merguez sausage. A dusting of salt, pepper, and cumin usually suffices for seasoning, but those who prefer things a bit more fiery will find that harissa works as the perfect condiment.
- Tagine of Shrimp in Tomato Sauce. Tomato sauce forms the base for a scrumptious seafood tagine of shrimp. Tradition is, of course, to eat communally from the tagine using pieces of Moroccan bread in lieu of a fork, but for this particular dish, you might prefer to serve it over a bed of rice or pasta.
HOW TO COOK IN A MOROCCAN TAGINE - THE SPRUCE EATS
From thespruceeats.com
- A Quick Look at the Moroccan Tagine. A tagine is a cone-shaped cooking vessel traditionally used in Morocco; it is made of either ceramic or unglazed clay.
- Arrange the Base Layer. Once seasoned, tagines are quite easy to use. The first step of making a tagine recipe is to place a layer of sliced onions across the base of the tagine, creating a bed for the remaining ingredients.
- Add the Garlic. Next comes the garlic. You can use a garlic press, but you can also just as easily chop the garlic or, if you like, leave the cloves whole.
- Add Olive Oil. Ample oil is the foundation of a rich sauce in a tagine, so don't be afraid to use the full amount called for in a recipe. Most tagine recipes specify 1/4 to 1/3 cup oil.
- Arrange the Meat in the Center. Meat, poultry, or fish is usually arranged in the center of the tagine. If you're using meat on the bone, place the pieces bone-side-down to reduce the risk of scorching the meat.
- Mix the Moroccan Spices. Although not absolutely necessary, combining your Moroccan spices before using them does allow for more even distribution of seasoning.
- Season the Meat and Onions. Distribute some of the spice mixture over the meat and onions. You can use up to 2/3 of the mixture at this step, concentrating the seasoning on the onions so the spices will meld with the oil and liquids to make a rich, flavorful sauce.
- Arrange the Vegetables and Season. When using a tagine, the vegetables are usually added at the very beginning of cooking along with the meat. Some recipes call for layering the vegetables around the meat, poultry, or fish, but in a Berber style tagine they're arranged in a conical fashion.
- Garnish the Tagine. Now you can dress up the tagine with color and flavor by adding strips or slices of bell pepper, preserved lemon, olives, and an herb bouquet of parsley and cilantro.
- Add Water to the Tagine. The last step before you place the tagine on the stove is to add water (sometimes stock or broth is used instead). Pour it carefully into the tagine near the side so that you don't wash away any of the spices.
