Lamb Tagine, the stew, classically incorporates savory and sweet ingredients to make a complex dish with a richly spiced flavor. You will see an array of seasonings in this stew that sets it apart from anything you've probably tried, like cinnamon and cardamom. It is a comforting, cozy meal that pairs perfectly with plain couscous or rice.

Ingredients

  • Lamb Marinade
  • 1 tbsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tbsp All Spice
  • 1/2 tbsp Turmeric
  • 1/2 tbsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tbsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tbsp Coriander
  • 1 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1 tsp Ground Cloves
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 Garlic cloves, minced
  • 5 Cardamom Cloves
  • 1 Cinnamon Stick
  • Other Ingredients
  • 1 Large Red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup Natural Delights Medjool Dates about 10 pieces
  • 2 Large potatoes, peeled, and cut into 2 inch cubes
  • 2 Carrots, chopped
  • 6 cups Veggie Stock
  • Garnish
  • 1/4 cup Fresh mint, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, roughly chopped

Preparation

  1. Wash each piece of lamb thoroughly under cold water.
  2. Add the lamb to a pot over high heat and season with all the spices under marinade ingredients. Sear the meat for 5 minutes on each side until it has a brown crust. To achieve this the pot must be hot. Cover with a lid for 10 after browning is achieved. This will allow juices to form.
  3. Add the red onion and garlic to the mix and cover for about 20 minutes. At this point, more juices will be forming.
  4. Then add the dates and let that simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Lastly, add the potatoes and carrots. Cover the veggies and meat with your stock of choice. Add the cinnamon stick and cardamom pods at this point. Cover and let this simmer on medium heat for at least 2 hours.
  6. Check back on it then and see if the meat is tender. If not, cook for another 10-15 minutes until it is.
  7. Last thing, garnish with the chopped mint and cilantro for freshness. Enjoy over plain couscous, rice, or bread.

*While Medjool dates are high in natural sugars, they are low on the glycemic index thanks to a balanced amount of soluble fiber. The complex carbohydrates found in Medjool dates are digested at a slower rate, making them a source of dietary fiber and releasing energy to the body over a longer period of time.
