One Pot Moroccan Lamb Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Set the slow cooker to low. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and brown the lamb in batches, transferring to the slow cooker as you go. Add the remaining oil and the onions to the pan and cook for 8-10 mins until softened. Tip in the garlic and ginger and stir for 1-2 mins, then add the spices, preserved lemon and tomato purée. Warm through, then tip into the slow cooker. Swirl some water around the pan, then pour into the slow cooker along with the stock. Season, cover and cook for 6-8 hrs.
• Once the meat is really tender, turn the heat up to high. Add the honey, lemon and olives and cook for 20-30 mins. Top with the herbs and serve with couscous or rice.

Steps:

• Mix first 6 ingredients in large bowl. Add lamb and toss to coat. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add lamb to skillet and cook until browned on all sides, turning occasionally and adding 2 more tablespoons oil to skillet between batches, about 8 minutes per batch. Transfer lamb to another large bowl after each batch.
• Add onion and tomato paste to drippings in skillet. Reduce heat to medium; sauté until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add broth, garbanzo beans, apricots, tomatoes, cinnamon sticks, ginger, and lemon peel and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Return lamb to skillet and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until lamb is just tender, about 1 hour. Uncover and simmer until sauce thickens enough to coat spoon, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Rewarm over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.)
• Transfer lamb and sauce to bowl. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan.
• Add the meat in small batches, and cook over a medium heat until well browned.
• Return all the meat to the pan.
• Add all the remaining ingredients (except the almonds) and season with pepper.
• Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer covered for about 1 hour or until the meat is tender.
• Garnish with the almonds, and serve with rice.

Steps:

• Toast almond slivers in dry frying pan over medium heat, tossing until golden. Transfer to a small bowl, cool before using.
• Melt butter in large saucepan, saute garlic until softened. Add stock and saffron, bring to a boil.
• Stir couscous through boiling stock, remove sauce pan from heat: cover and stand 5 minutes until all stock is absorbed. Using a fork, seperate the couscous grains.
• Preheat grill to medium, rub sersoning and oil into lamb, grill 3 - 4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your liking. Remove from grill and set aside to rest, keep meat warm until needed.
• Cook red peppers and zucchini on grill for 2 - 3 minutes per side.
• Toss red peppers, zucchini, chickpeas and herbs through the warm couscous, top with sliced lamb and sprinkle with the almonds. Enjoy!
