Tagine of Marrakesh Lamb with Preserved Lemon
Tabah Moostafah (Morocco)

Nearly any braised or stewed North African dishes can be called a tagine, actually a term derived from the beautiful unglazed earthenware casserole with its graceful cone-shaped cover, in which the meal is slowly simmered.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds lamb, cubed
• 2 cups water
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 large ripe tomatoes, chopped
• 1 small onion, grated
• 1 preserved lemon (or less, to taste)
• 3 tbsp minced cilantro
• 3 tbsp minced parsley
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 tsp ras el hanout
• salt
• Garnish
• minced parsley or cilantro

Preparation:

Combine all the ingredients (except garnish) in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for about 2 hours, until the meat is tender.
Variations:
Add vegetables (potatoes, turnips, carrots, green beans, etc.) to the tagine.
