👨🍳 步驟
- 1
Pat the lamb cubes dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- 2
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or tagine pot over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove lamb and set aside.
- 3
Add the chopped onions to the pot and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
- 5
Return the browned lamb to the pot. Add the diced tomatoes and broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 2 hours, or until the lamb is very tender.
- 6
Stir in the dried apricots and honey. Continue to cook, covered, for another 30 minutes, allowing the apricots to soften and the flavors to meld.
- 7
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. The sauce should have thickened slightly.
- 8
Serve the tagine hot, garnished with toasted slivered almonds and fresh cilantro or parsley. It is traditionally served with couscous or rice.
