Crock Pot Lamb Tagine Recipes

Steps:

• Fry the lamb in the oil in batches and tip it into the slow cooker. Fry the onion in the same pan for 5 mins or until it softens a little. Add the carrots and spices, stir everything together, add the tomato purée, stock and 250ml water and swirl everything around the pan. Tip into the slow cooker. Add the sweet potato, dried cherries, honey and another 500ml water.
• Cook on low for 8 hrs or high for 4 hrs. Stir in the coriander and serve with couscous. Leave to cool before freezing.

Steps:

• Place diced lamb in a bowl, toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and set aside. In a large resealable bag, toss together the paprika, turmeric, cumin, cayenne, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, salt, ginger, saffron, garlic powder, and coriander; mix well. Add the lamb to the bag, and toss around to coat well. Refrigerate at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add 1/3 of the lamb, and brown well. Remove to a plate, and repeat with remaining lamb. Add onions and carrots to the pot and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the fresh garlic and ginger; continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes. Return the lamb to the pot and stir in the lemon zest, chicken broth, tomato paste, and honey. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender.
• If the consistency of the tagine is too thin, you may thicken it with a mixture of cornstarch and water during the last 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Combined cumin, cinnamon, ginger and coriander, and divide mixture in half.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 T of the oil over high heat, add lamb, half the spice mixture and salt and pepper to taste. Brown the lamb well on all sides, then transfer it to the slow cooker, draining any fat from the skillet.
• Heat remaining oil and spice mixture in the same skillet over medium heat until aromatic, about 20 to 30 seconds. Add to slow cooker. Add the chicken broth, tomatoes, onion, leek, carrots, pear, and dates; stir well.
• Cover and cook on high 4-5 hours, or low 8-10 hours, until lamb is tender.
• To serve, spoon lamb mixture over couscous, and sprinkle the pine nuts over all.

Steps:

• Layer chicken thighs, onions, carrots, raisins, and apricots in a slow cooker.
• Whisk chicken broth, tomato paste, lemon juice, flour, garlic salt, cumin, ginger, cinnamon, paprika, and pepper together in a bowl. Pour over chicken and vegetables.
• Cook on High 4 1/2 hours or on Low for 7 1/2 hours. Shred chicken slightly using 2 forks. Continue cooking 30 minutes.
• Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a saucepan; remove from heat and stir in couscous and butter. Cover saucepan and let stand until water is absorbed completely, 5 to 10 minutes. Fluff couscous with a fork. Serve chicken tagine over couscous.

Steps:

• Spray 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Sprinkle lamb with 1/2 teaspoon of the cumin, the turmeric and salt. In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add half of the lamb; cook 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove lamb with slotted spoon; place in slow cooker. Repeat with remaining lamb.
• Discard any remaining drippings from skillet, leaving brown particles in skillet. Add 1/2 cup of the broth to skillet, scraping to loosen particles; cook 1 minute. Pour into slow cooker. Stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin, remaining 1 cup broth, the onions, plums, honey, tomato paste and carrots.
• Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 hours or until lamb is tender. Sprinkle individual servings with cilantro and almonds.
