These spices look great but for the love of Morocco do NOT serve over rice. If you want to serve over something use couscous and omit the almonds.
i added 1TBS of Lemon juice half a cube of cubed chicken stock an extra tsp of cumin and a bay leaf. it tasted alot better.
Tasty and easy way to serve lamb. I made a few substitutes to accommodate the ingredients I had on hand. I substituted sultana raisins for the golden, and MacIntosh apples for the pears. Rather than add the almonds to the dish I toasted sliced almonds and sprinkled them on top just before serving. I served the lamb over couscous rather than rice and used a side dish of a sweet potato casserole. This was a nice combination of flavors that complimented each other and was rich and flavorful. In addition I used my slow cooker rather than cooking it in the oven.
This recipe for Lamb Tagine was simply wonderful! And it was so easy to make - I'll definitely be making this next time I host a dinner party. Also I served this over couscous instead of rice.
I thought this recipe was delicious! I love spice so i pretty much doubled the spices and left out the almonds as i didn't have any on hand. I also served mine over couscous instead of rice. Great flavor!
I enjoyed this recipe. It reminded me of an actual "tagine" dish I had in Morocco. Based on other reviewers using broth instead of water I threw in a cube of lamb buillon and I think it was a good choice. (I'm residing in England; I'm not sure you can get lamb buillon in the States.) I also let the pears sit in some lemon juice and cinnamon while the lamb was stewing and I served it with couscous. My husband didn't like it as much as I did and I'm guessing the combination of textures and the sweetness being rather unusual for the American palate is why this recipe has some lower ratings. But I thought the almonds pears and raisins with the sauce and couscous was the best part!
I decided to try this recipe for a Moroccan themed holiday dinner this year. It turned out great! I did have to tweek it a little. I used chicken breast instead of lamb and I followed the advice of previous posts and doubled all of the spices. I also served it with couscous instead of rice. That is a much better option. Overall it was a big hit!
This recipe was perfect for the meal I planned for Valentine's Day. One thing I learned though...DO NOT substitute with beef cubes! Very dry!
This tagine was just ok. It wasn't my favorite but my boyfriend did enjoy it. I thought the dish lacked flavor...and I even tried adding some extra flavor to it while it was cooking. Also for me the dish took quite a bit longer to cook than what was instructed. Also mine turned out too watery...and this was after I left the lid off for some time.
