Background

One of the most well-known Moroccan dishes is the tagine (or tajine), made with lamb is especially popular. There are plenty of versions, hundreds of “authentic” recipes - but most of them cooked with dried fruits and aromatic spices. This lamb tagine with chickpeas is very easy to make and not spicy at all, so kids can enjoy it too (if you do want it hot, add some chilli/harissa paste to the sauce). If preferred, it can be cooked in the oven too, at 150°C. Serve it with couscous and a crispy salad.

Ingredients

450g diced lamb
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion

1 can chickpeas (400g)
50g dried apricots, chopped
1 handful of coriander leaves, chopped
