Ingredients:

For the Lamb Tagine:

• 2 pounds lamb shoulder, cut into cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 2 cups beef or lamb broth
• 1 cup dried apricots, halved
• 1/2 cup golden raisins
• Zest and juice of 1 lemon
• Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
• Cooked couscous, for serving

Instructions:

1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or tagine pot over medium-high heat. Add the lamb cubes in batches and cook until browned on all sides. Transfer the browned lamb to a plate and set aside.
2. In the same pot, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Return the browned lamb to the pot. Stir in ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground turmeric, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to toast the spices and coat the lamb evenly.
4. Add diced tomatoes and beef or lamb broth to the pot, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the tagine simmer gently for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and the flavors have melded together.
6. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in dried apricots, golden raisins, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Continue to simmer, uncovered, until the fruits are softened and the sauce has thickened slightly.
7. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
8. Serve the Moroccan-Inspired Lamb Tagine hot, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves, and accompanied by cooked couscous.
9. Enjoy your flavorful and aromatic tagine, a delicious fusion of Moroccan flavors that will transport you to the bustling souks of Marrakech with every bite!
