LAMB TAGINE WITH PEARS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add shallots, and saute until lightly browned. Add lamb, and cook until browned all over. Add just enough water to cover (about 3 cups). Season with salt, pepper, ginger, cinnamon, and saffron. Simmer, covered, over low heat until lamb is very tender, about 1 hour. If the sauce needs to thicken, uncover, and cook for 15 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, quarter and core pears, but do not peel them. In a large skillet, heat butter and remaining tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add pears, and cook until cut sides have caramelized. Place pears, skin-side up, on top of meat in the skillet. Continue to cook, covered, until pears are very tender, about 30 minutes. Be sure not to overcook pears or they will fall apart. Serve immediately.

LAMB WITH PEAR TAGINE

Steps:

• In a large sauce pan gently fry the onion in the olive oil until soft.
• Add lamb, ginger, and coriander to the pan and cook until it changes color.
• Add cumin, black pepper, cinnamon, and water to just cover the meat.
• Salt to taste.
• Cover and simmer gently until the meat is tender, about 1.5-2 hours.
• If there seems to be a bit too much liquid, displace the lid after an hour of cooking.
• Add the pears to the meat together with almonds. Cook for a further 5 minutes or until the pears are soft.
• NOTE:.
• For a different twist on this, you can substitute mixed vegetables of your choice, instead of pear. It would make it more savory than sweet.
