Potato Artichoke And Parsley Tagine Food

LAMB TAGINE WITH POTATOES AND PEAS (L'HAM BEL B'TATA WA JEBLANA)

Steps:

• Put the shanks, onions, garlic, spices, and a little salt into a large pot. Add water to barely cover, about 4 cups (1 liter) and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 30 minutes. Turn the shanks over in the sauce and cook for another 15 minutes. Turn the meat again and cook for another 15 minutes, or until the meat is tender. If the shanks are not tender after an hour, cook for 15 to 30 minutes longer, adding a little more water.
• When the meat is tender, add the herbs (reserving a little cilantro for garnish) and potatoes and cook for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are just done. Add the peas and cook uncovered for another few minutes, until the peas are cooked. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the sauce is still runny, let it bubble hard uncovered until the sauce has thickened.
• Transfer meat and vegetables to a serving dish. Garnish with the reserved cilantro and serve very hot with Moroccan bread.

PEARL BARLEY, PARSNIP & PRESERVED LEMON TAGINE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole dish. Add the onion and a pinch of salt, cook for 5 mins until beginning to colour and soften, then stir in the garlic and spices. Cook for a min more until fragrant, then add the sweet potato, parsnips, carrots, preserved lemon and pearl barley.
• Give everything a good mix and cook for a min or so until the veg and barley are coated in the spices. Pour in the stock and some seasoning, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 45 mins or until the veg and barley are tender.
• To make the dressing, mix the yogurt with the tahini, lemon juice and some seasoning, then add a splash of water to make it spoonable. Chop most of the mint and parsley leaves. Taste the stew for seasoning, then stir through the chopped herbs, olives and lemon juice. Can be frozen at this point; reheat very gently.
• Scatter over the pomegranate seeds and the remaining herbs to add colour and texture. Serve with tahini yogurt.
