Moroccan Medina Recipes

Six beloved dishes from the kitchens of Fes, Marrakech, and the Atlas mountains. Each one built on honest fats and the unmistakable warmth of ras el hanout.

Lamb Tagine with Prunes

Lamb Tagine with Prunes and Almonds

⏱ 2 hr 30 min🍽 6 servings🔥 Medium

The crown jewel of Moroccan tables. Lamb shoulder slowly braised with cinnamon, saffron, and honeyed prunes until the meat slides from the bone.

Ingredients

  • 1.2 kg lamb shoulder, cut into large chunks
  • 3 tbsp ghee (or smen, traditional fermented butter)
  • 2 large onions, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon, plus 1 stick
  • 1 tsp ground ginger, 1 tsp turmeric
  • Generous pinch saffron threads, bloomed in warm water
  • 300 g soft pitted prunes
  • 2 tbsp raw honey
  • 100 g blanched almonds, toasted in butter
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Warm the ghee in a heavy tagine or Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown the lamb pieces in batches until deeply colored on all sides. Set aside.
  2. Lower the heat. Add onions and a pinch of salt. Cook 10 minutes until very soft and golden.
  3. Stir in garlic, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, and the saffron with its soaking water. Cook 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Return the lamb to the pot with the cinnamon stick. Pour in enough water to barely cover. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook on the lowest heat for 1 hour 45 minutes.
  5. Add prunes and honey. Simmer uncovered 25 more minutes, basting the meat with sauce. The liquid should reduce to a glossy syrup.
  6. Taste, adjust salt and pepper. Transfer to a warm serving dish.
  7. Scatter toasted almonds and sesame seeds over the top. Serve with warm bread for scooping.
