Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound lamb stew meat
- 1 large onion chopped
- ½ teaspoon Moroccan coriander ground
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 large carrot sliced
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2½ cups chicken broth low sodium
- 14 ounce chickpeas drained and rinsed (1 can)
- ½ cup golden raisins
- 2 tablespoons pistachios chopped
- 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400℉.
- Add the oil to a tagine and heat over medium-high heat. Add the lamb meat and saute for about 4 to 5 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Transfer the lamb to a plate and set aside.
- Add the onion, coriander, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper to the tagine and stir everything together. Let the onion saute for about 4 minutes until it softens, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the carrots and garlic. Add the lamb meat back to the tagine. Stir in the tomato paste and honey.
- Add the chicken broth, chickpeas, golden raisins and stir to combine. Bring to a boil then cover the tagine with lid and place in the oven. Cook for about 45 minutes to an hour, until the lamb is tender.
- Garnish with pistachios and fresh cilantro. Serve over cooked couscous or mashed potatoes.

Notes
- Although I used a 1.5 qt tagine in this recipe a large skillet would work just as well. You will need a lid to cover the skillet while in the oven. A Dutch oven would work as well. A tagine is recommended though, because the stew develops a rich and concentrated flavor because the lid traps all the steam and sends it back down to the stew.
- Another alternative to cooking this is to finish cooking it on the stove top vs cooking it in the oven. You would still need to cover the tagine/pot with the lid and cook for about 50 minutes to an hour over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Allow the tagine to come to room temperature but don’t leave it out, unrefrigerated for more than two hours. Store it in airtight containers in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
- You can freeze this stew for up to 6 months. Simply transfer it to airtight containers or resealable freezer bags and pop them in the freezer. Allow it to thaw overnight in the fridge when ready to eat.
