Beyond Couscous: Pairing the Perfect Sides with Lamb Tagine

Lamb tagine, a traditional North African dish, is a feast for the senses with its rich flavors and aromatic spices. While couscous is often the go-to side, many delightful alternatives can elevate your meal further.

Ingredients for Lamb Tagine:

• • 2 pounds lamb shoulder, cut into chunks

• • 2 onions, finely chopped

• • 3 garlic cloves, minced

• • 2 tsp ground cumin

• • 1 tsp ground coriander

• • 1 tsp cinnamon

• • 1 cup chopped tomatoes

• • 1 cup chicken or beef broth

• • 1 cup dried apricots, halved

• • 1/2 cup almonds, toasted

• • Salt and pepper to taste

• • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions:

Sear the lamb: In a large tagine or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Season lamb with salt and pepper, then brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Sauté aromatics: In the same pot, add onions and garlic. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the spices and cook for an additional minute.

Combine: Return the lamb to the pot, add tomatoes, broth, and apricots. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on low for 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender.

Finish: Stir in toasted almonds before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

Perfect Side Pairings:

• • Herbed Quinoa: Offers a nutty flavor that complements the tagine’s spices.

• • Roasted Vegetables: Carrots, root veggies, and zucchini enhance the dish’s earthy tones.

• • Spicy Harissa Roasted Potatoes: A great contrast, adding a crispy texture and heat.

These sides will not only enhance the overall dining experience but will also create a vibrant and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
