Lamb tagine is a spicy and fragrant dish that is traditionally made in Morocco and other North African countries. In this recipe, we combine lamb with okra and quince for a unique and delicious twist on the classic dish. The lamb is cooked slowly in a Dutch oven or tagine, until it is melt-in-your-mouth tender. The caramelized quince and okra add both sweetness and texture to the dish, making it a perfect meal for a cozy night in. Serve the lamb tagine with a side of couscous and a glass of red wine for the ultimate comfort food experience.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2.Season the lamb pieces with salt and pepper, ginger, and paprika.
3.Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or tagine over medium-high heat.
4.Brown the lamb pieces in the oil, working in batches so as not to crowd the pot, about 10 minutes per batch.
5.Return all of the lamb to the pot and add the grated onion, garlic, cilantro, parsley, saffron, tomatoes, jalapeno, and cumin seeds. Stir well.
6.Pour in enough water to just cover the lamb.
7.Cover the pot and place it in the oven to cook for 1 1/2 - 2 hours, or until the lamb is very tender.
8.Cut the quince into wedges and remove the seeds.
9.Melt the butter in a separate skillet over medium heat.
10.Add the chopped onions, quince, sugar, and cinnamon. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the quince is softened and caramelized.
11.Add the okra to the tagine/pot and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
12.Serve the lamb tagine hot with the caramelized quince and a side of couscous.
