Lamb Tagine

Recipe by: Lisa

Reviews(3)

When I made this dish I left the kitchen window open. The smell attracted several neighbours, and when my husband came in, he said that it smelled so good, he hoped it was coming from our house and not from someone else's! Serve with couscous for a hearty and delicious meal.

An aromatic North African-style casserole, richly flavoured with dried fruits and warmly spiced with ginger and cinnamon. The sweetness of the honey tempers the fiery harissa, and chickpeas add a high fibre carbohydrate to the dish.

This highly spiced dish from Egypt is perfect for vegetarians because it is so rich with protein, due to the combination of lentils and pasta. You'll love the interesting texture and mix of flavours.

A vegetable-full curry! Serve this curry over your favourite rice and you're sure to have a tasty meal. If you have carrot-ginger juice available to you, try using it in place of the orange juice - either one is delicious!

Mat Armett's Durban Curry

Recipe by: MatArmett

This recipe can be halved or doubled without trouble. I use Durban curry powder that was brought back from SA but you can use Madras curry powder much to the same effect. If you don't want a particularly hot curry, then chop the Chillis into large pieces and take them out after cooking.

This dessert's coconut and creamy taste is irresistible! For the weight watchers this could be too much! You can add more or less sugar to this dish, according to your taste.

Aromatic cumin, coriander and cinnamon give these chicken breasts a Middle Eastern flavour, and including chickpeas further enhances the ethnic theme. Courgettes and sugarsnap peas add colour and all the benefits of fresh vegetables.

Enjoy the fragrant flavours of coriander and mint in this North African-inspired salad, that can be largely prepared ahead. Lamb is a good source of protein, as well as B vitamins, iron and zinc.

Tagines are almost invariably made with mutton. Using lamb cuts down the cooking time, but if you can find good hogget (older than lamb, younger than mutton) that will do very well.

Even meat-eaters will love this flavour-packed vegetable stew. The slightly tart taste of dried cherries combines with sweet, plump raisins in a spicy mixture of chunky vegetables, chickpeas and ginger. Despite the long list of ingredients, the stew is simple to prepare for a hearty family meal.
