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.

Good olive oil
6 small frenched lamb shanks (5 to 6 pounds total)
3 cups chopped yellow onions (2 large onions)
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 (4-inch) cinnamon stick
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, such as San Marzano
2 cups good chicken stock, preferably homemade
2 tablespoons light brown sugar, lightly packed
4 (1/2-inch-thick) slices of lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, unpeeled and 1-inch-diced
1 pound butternut squash, peeled and 1-inch-diced
1/2 pound sweet potatoes, unpeeled and 1-inch-diced
Couscous, for serving

MOROCCAN LAMB WITH COUSCOUS

This is a really simple recipe to make it can be on the table in 30 Min's not including the marinating time. The marinade is easy to make and something you can do the night before or before work and it is ready to go when you walk through the door. I love couscous and I think it pairs very well with this dish. I use quick cooking couscous which comes in sachets of 100g each to serve 1-2 people depending on whether making as is or serving as an accompaniment like I did. The brand I buy only takes 2 Min's to cook and you place the sachet in boiling water, so when you get to the part where you add stock and hot mango chutney to the water, please note that this is just to flavour couscous and not to be mixed with it.

  • In a very large, enameled cast-iron casserole, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in the olive oil. Add the onion and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until just softened, about 5 minutes. In a small bowl, crumble the saffron into 2 tablespoons of hot water and let stand for at least 10 minutes.
  • Season the lamb shanks with salt and black pepper and dust with paprika. Add the lamb shanks to the casserole and cook over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until the shanks are well browned, about 7 minutes. Stir in the 1 tablespoon of paprika, the cumin and cayenne and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and 3 quarts of water and bring to a boil over moderately high heat. Skim off any fat and add the saffron and its soaking liquid, the parsley bundle and a large pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover partially and simmer until the lamb is tender, about 2 hours.
  • Transfer the lamb shanks to a large plate and cover with foil. Add the potatoes, celery and carrots to the casserole, cover and simmer over moderate heat until almost tender, about 10 minutes. Add the red peppers and zucchini and simmer uncovered until all the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and discard the parsley bundle; set aside 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Stir in the frozen peas.
  • Remove the meat from the lamb shanks and cut it into 3/4-inch pieces. Return the meat to the stew.
