Instruções
- 1.Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the lamb cubes with salt and pepper, then brown them in batches. Remove the lamb from the pot and set it aside.
- 2.Reduce the heat to medium, add the chopped onion to the same pot, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
- 3.Add the minced garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and ginger. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the spices are very fragrant.
- 4.Return the browned lamb to the pot. Add the cubed butternut squash, drained chickpeas, halved apricots, and vegetable broth. Stir everything to combine.
- 5.Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for 45-60 minutes, or until the lamb is tender and the squash is cooked through.
- 6.Stir in half of the chopped fresh cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- 7.Serve the tagine hot, garnished with the remaining fresh cilantro and toasted flaked almonds. It pairs beautifully with quinoa or wholewheat couscous.
