How to Make Lamb With Pear Tagine

  1. Gently fry 1 large chopped onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large tagine or Dutch oven until softened (about 5 minutes).
  2. Add 1.5 lbs cubed lamb, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander. Cook until the lamb is browned on all sides.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 1/2 cups of water. Ensure the lamb is just covered.
  4. Season generously with salt to taste.
  5. Cover and simmer gently for 1.5-2 hours, or until the lamb is incredibly tender. After 1 hour, if there's too much liquid, slightly displace the lid to allow some evaporation.
  6. Add 2 ripe but firm pears, peeled, cored, and quartered, and 1/4 cup slivered almonds to the tagine.
  7. Cook for a further 5 minutes, or until the pears are tender.
  8. (Optional) For a savory twist, substitute the pears with 1 cup of mixed vegetables (e.g., carrots, zucchini, bell peppers) during step 6.
