Moroccan Leaving Feast.


I was leaving my little Norfolk village in search of the bright lights of the big city. This is what I decided on as my last supper (so to say) lamb tagine.
My first attempt at a tagine and yum! Everyone should give it a go its sooo much easier than I ever thought.
Tagine Ingredients:
-Onions.
-Garlic.
-Cinamon, cumin, ginger. 
- Lamb shoulder, 
(cut into sizeable pieces will fall
 off the bone during cooking).
-1 Mild red chilli.
-Vegtable stock.
-Dried apricots. 
-De-stoned prunes.
-Add a few peppers, pots or veg if you fancy.
-Coriander.
Quantities are so variable depending on how many you are feeding so just use your judgement.

Pop all ingredients, (including the chilli kept whole) in a large sauce pan and cover with stock and simmer with lid on until meats starts coming away from the bone ( roughly 2.30hrs) add more stock if starts to dry out. Then add prunes and a apricots continue to cook with the lid off until liquid has reduced into a sweet almost syrup sauce. Finish with a topping of chopped coriander.
Serve with couscous containing sultanas and seeds for a little crunch. 
A sure yummy tummy filler and kids love it too.
