Lamb and Apricot Tagine (makes 4-6 servings)
2 tbsp olive oil (to coat crock)
1.5 lbs lean boneless leg or shoulder of lamb
cut into small cubes
1 large onion thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
4 carrots, thinly sliced
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups lamb or vegetable stock
8 oz. button mushrooms
Grated zest of one lemon
1 cup ready-to-eat dried apricots, chopped
2 tbsp honey
Chopped fresh cilantro, to serve (optional)
Coat crock with olive oil. Place on bottom of
crock onion, garlic and carrots. Mix flour
with spice in a bowl. Add lamb cubes and mix
to cover lamb completely. [This adds the spice
flavors to the meat more strongly and directly.]
Add meat to crock. Then add mushrooms, zest
and cover with stock. Cover and cook on low
for 6 to 8 hours. Stir in apricots and honey,
cover and cook on low an additional 1 to 2
hours, or until lamb is cooked and tender.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro and serve
with couscous, if desired.

Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they
shall never cease to be amused.
