Lamb and chicken tagine
This is a very easy recipe and makes a great meal for friends served with couscous. A tagine is a large earthenware, shallow round dish with a conical cover. These come in a variety of sizes but a heavy base pan with a lid will do.
What you need
- 90 ml oil
- 225 g lean diced lamb
- 225 g skinless boneless chicken, diced
- 1 small red pepper, cored de-seeded, halved and diced
- 1 small green pepper, cored de-seeded, halved and diced
- 2 onions, peeled and sliced
- 5 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 600 ml chicken stock or lamb stock
- seasoning
- 100 g ready-to-eat dried apricots, quartered
- 100 g ready-to-eat prunes, pitted
- To garnish
- 25 g whole almonds, toasted
Method
Heat 60 ml of the oil in a frying pan. Stir in the lamb and chicken together and cook for 5-6 min. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
Pour the remaining oil into the frying pan. Add the peppers and onions and fry together for 5 min or until they just start to brown. Stir in the spices and cook for 1 min.
Pour in the stock and season to taste. Stir in the lamb and chicken. Cover and simmer for 45 min or until tender.
Stir in the apricots and prunes and cook uncovered for a further 20 min. Sprinkle over the almonds. Serve in a warmed serving dish.

Cook's tip
Add dried figs if liked as this gives a little extra 'crunch' to the dish.
