Instruções
- 1.Pat the lamb cubes dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb in batches to ensure a good sear, then remove from the pot and set aside.
- 2.Reduce the heat to medium, add the chopped onion to the pot, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
- 3.Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cinnamon, toasting the spices for 30-60 seconds.
- 4.Return the browned lamb to the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- 5.Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook gently for 60-75 minutes, or until the lamb is tender and easily pulls apart.
- 6.Stir in the halved dried apricots and continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 10-15 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
- 7.Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve the tagine hot, garnished with toasted almonds and fresh cilantro.
