Here’s the complete list of ingredients, with precise measurements:

  • 2 lbs lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (Recipe lists 4 in header, 3 in list – using 3)
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Cooked couscous or rice, for serving

These quantities yield a hearty stew, serving approximately 4-6 people.

Prep your ingredients before adding them to the slow cooker.

Instructions

Let’s walk through this incredibly simple slow cooker process:

1. Combine Ingredients:

  • Place the cubed lamb shoulder, chopped onion, minced garlic, undrained diced tomatoes, chicken or vegetable broth, chopped dried apricots, raisins, ground cumin, ground coriander, cinnamon, salt, and pepper directly into the insert of your slow cooker.

2. Stir Well:

  • Stir all the ingredients together thoroughly to ensure the lamb and vegetables are coated with the spices and reasonably distributed within the liquid.

3. Cook:

  • Cover the slow cooker securely with the lid.
  • Cook on the LOW heat setting for 8-10 hours OR on the HIGH heat setting for 4-5 hours. The lamb should be exceptionally tender and falling apart when done.

4. Finish and Serve:

  • Once the cooking time is complete, give the tagine a good stir. Skim off any excess fat from the surface if desired. Taste and adjust seasoning (salt, pepper) if necessary. Remove the bay leaf if you added one (not listed, but common in stews).
  • Serve the hot Moroccan Lamb Tagine generously over fluffy cooked couscous or basmati rice.
  • Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro just before serving.

An exotic and flavorful meal made with incredible ease!
