MOROCCAN LAMB TAGINE RECPIE || Lamb Tagine with Prunes, Apricots, Figs & Almonds || Mrouzia Recipe
MOROCCAN LAMB TAGINE RECPIE || Lamb Tagine with Prunes, Apricots, Figs & Almonds || Mrouzia Recipe
In this video, we show you how to make a Moroccan Lamb Tagine Recipee. Tagine is a traditional Clay vessel that is used to cook almost anything in Morocco, and today we show you how to make a delicious Moroccan Lamb Tagine with Prunes, Apricots, Figs, and Almonds. Moroccan Cuisine is known for its delicious savoury spices mixed with sweet notes from fruit. This type of Tagine is also known as Mrouzia, which is an ancient way of cooking Lamb in a rich thick sauce, with sweet caramelized dried fruit and nuts in honey and cinnamon. The Lamb is slow cooked which makes it super tender, the rich thick gravy is full of fantastic flavours and the sweetness from the fruits is just the icing on the cake. If you don't have a tagine then you can cook in a casserole pot or in the oven, and adjust the cooking times accordingly.
This Moroccan Lamb Tagine is another highly recommended recipe that you guys must try as the flavours are mind-blowing!
To make the Moroccan Lamb Tagine Recipe, you will need:
Step 1: Prepare Lamb
1/2 KG Lamb (small or large pieces as per your choice)
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
salt to taste
1 heaped tsp paprika
1/8 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
Step 2: Tagine
2 tbs olive oil
1 large onion (finely chopped or grated)
salt to taste (enough for the onions)
1/4 tsp paprika
2-3 grated garlic cloves
4-5 tbs saffron water
2 medium-sized tomatoes grated
1 bay leaf
1 small cinnamon stick
enough hot water to cover the lamb (we used about 1 cup of water)
Step 3: Fruits
small piece of butter
*the following dried fruit was soaked in hot water for 20 minutes
6 dried apricots
5-6 prunes
1/4 cup raisins
2 dried figs (halved)
1 tbs honey (or more if you like it sweeter)
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1/4 cup almonds (soaked and skin removed)
We served this delicious Lamb Tagine (tagine d'agneau) with a Moroccan spiced bulgar salad, but it can also be served with couscous or toasted bread.
We hope you have seen how easy it is to prepare this delicious Moroccan Lamb Tagine with sweet and sticky fruit (Mrouzia), and we hope you can put your tagine to use with this amazing recipe. If you do not have a tagine then you can apply the same ingredients and cook it in a pot on the stove (like a casserole pot) or even bake it in the oven (adjust cooking times accordingly).
