Steps to make Lamb shank tagine (cooked in a tagine pot):
- Get your tagine and vegetables ready. I had this selection of vegetables from #seasonsupply but feel free to experiment with other vegetables.
- Prepare your vegetables: cut your onions into rings, potatoes into quarters, squash into bite sized chunks. Half carrots in length and then cut them into halves or quarters.
- Pour the olive oil into the tagine and scatter the onions on top. Crush the garlic on top of the onions. I used 5 gloves as I love garlic, but feel free to use less. Place the shanks on top as shown on the picture.
- Combine all the spices, plus pepper and some salt (not the harissa paste) in a bowl. Sprinkle about half of the seasoning over the meat and onions.
- Prepare the stock: I used 2 cups of water and 2 chicken stock cubes. Add 2 tsp of harissa paste into the stock. Let the stock cool down as adding hot liquid to a cold tagine can cause thermal shock and crack the tagine.
- Add the rest of the seasoning to the vegetables and spread evenly.
- Top the lamb shanks with the seasoned vegetables. Now top the tagine with pepper, olives, preserved lemon (cut into quarters) and sprinkle with some chopped parsley.
- Pour the stock carefully into the tagine near the side so you don’t wash away the spices of the vegetables.
- Put the lid on the tagine and place it into cold oven. Turn the oven on 160C. Don’t touch the tagine for at least 2 hours (unless you feel something burning). After 2 hours check if the tagine has plenty of liquid and add a bit more of its dry. It should be nicely bubbling.
- My tagine was ready after 3 hours and 40 minutes. Serve with some bread or couscous. I pimped up my couscous with some chickpeas, fresh herbs and dried fruit.
