👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Season the lamb chunks generously with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-based oven-proof pot or tagine over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb in batches until lightly colored on all sides. Remove the lamb from the pot and set aside.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Don't overcrowd the pot, as this will cause the lamb to stew rather than brown. - 2
Add the sliced onions to the pot and cook gently until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, and cinnamon sticks to the pot. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.

Return the browned lamb to the pot. Pour in the passata and chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for 1.5 hours, or until the lamb is tender.
- 5
Add the sweet potato chunks to the pot. Stir well, cover again, and cook for another 20-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are just tender.
- 6
Stir in the chopped dates and cook for a further 5 minutes to heat through. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.

To serve, spoon the tagine into a serving dish. Garnish with fresh coriander and toasted slivered almonds, if desired. Serve hot with couscous or crusty bread.

💡 पेशेवर सुझाव
- ✓Lamb shoulder is a tough cut that benefits from slow cooking to become tender.
- ✓If you don't have a tagine, a heavy-based oven-proof pot with a lid will work.
- ✓Ensure the pot has a tight-fitting lid to trap steam and moisture during cooking.
