Lamb tagine

Lamb tagine (from Rick Stein’s french book), somewhat improvised because I didn’t have many of the ingredients. Very very tasty - the sweet potatoes, honey and apricots sweetened it up nicely.

I fried the couscous in butter.

Update:
In case you’re wondering what is a tagine, a kind of conical Moroccan cooking pot.

    It was quite exciting meal coz he chopped the lam bones with his very sharp Japanese knife and the knife was eventually shattered! means some small peace of it might be in the meal?

    However,the dish was increadibly dilicious!
    Mark and I enjoyed it so much!

    N-sama found the bit of metal! I was looking for it for ages, but didn’t find it. Anyway, now we can eat the rest of the tagine without worrying :-)

    […] So this is interesting: I made a lamb shoulder, cooked for 4 hours and because I had some sweet potatoes I made a sweet potato mash to go with it. Really great combination — similar in concept to the tagine. […]
