Tender African Moroccan Lamb Delight is a flavorful dish that combines spices and vegetables with tender lamb.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced
  • 1 cup zucchini, diced
  • 1 cup bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • ¼ cup dried apricots, chopped
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb pieces and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the lamb and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle in the cumin, coriander, cinnamon, paprika, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Stir for about 1 minute to toast the spices and release their flavors.
  4. Return the seared lamb to the pot. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and add the diced tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Add the sliced carrots, zucchini, bell peppers, chickpeas, and chopped apricots. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
  6. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 1.5 hours, or until the lamb is tender and the flavors meld together beautifully.
  7. Once cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Serve with couscous or rice for a complete meal.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
