Morrocon Tagine Lamb

Ingredients:

2 tbsp vegetable oil
500g diced lamb
1 large onion, finely diced
1 tbsp flour
1 jar of Tagine Paste
400ml chicken stock
400g chopped tomatoes
100g ready to eat apricots

Method:

Preheat the oven to 160deg C
Heat the oil in a large ovenproof casserole dish
Brown the lamb on all sides then set aside
Lightly brown the onions
Ad the flour and cook for 2 mins
Add the lamb, tagine paste, stock, tomatoes, apricots and stir thoroughly
Cover and place in the oven and cook for 2 and half to 3 hours until the lamb is tender
Serve with either couscous or rice and promegranate seeds

Lamb shank tagine

4 quality lamb shanks , French trimmed
, olive oil
1 fresh red chilli
1 clove of garlic
1 red onion
1 quince
2 carrots
1 bulb of fennel
2 fresh bay leaves
1 pinch of saffron
2 ripe tomatoes, on the vine
1 preserved lemon
1 litre organic chicken stock
200 g couscous
1 bunch of fresh mint
1 handful of black olives (stone in)
½ a bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley
½ a lemon
½ an orange
extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons rosewater
50 g harissa
4 heaped tablespoons fat-free natural yoghurt
RAS EL-HANOUT
2 cardamon pods
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 heaped teaspoon coriander seeds
½ teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
1 tiny pinch of cumin seeds
½ teaspoon turmeric
½ teaspoon ground ginger
Preheat the oven to 160ºC/320ºF/gas 3.

To make the ras el hanout, lightly bash the cardamom pods in a pestle and mortar, shake out the seeds and discard the pods. Bash and muddle in the remaining ingredients to form a powder.
Massage the ras el hanout into the lamb shanks, then place in a large ovenproof pan over a medium-high heat with a splash of olive oil. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until browned all over, turning halfway. Meanwhile, prick and add the chilli to the pan and cook until slightly scalded all over, then remove to a plate with the lamb.
Peel and finely slice the garlic. Peel, halve and cut the onion into eight wedges. Peel and core the quince, then cut into eight wedges, too. Peel and chop the carrots at an angle into 4cm chunks. Trim and quarter the bulb of fennel.
Wipe the pan clean with a ball of kitchen paper, then place on a medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil, the pricked chilli and the bay leaves. Put the garlic and vegetables into the pan, then cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until softened.
Add the saffron to a cup with a splash of boiling water, then leave for a minute. Return the shanks to the softened vegetables. Quarter and add the tomatoes along with the saffron mixture, whole preserved lemon and stock. Bring to the boil.
Cut out a circle of greaseproof paper to the size of the pan, scrunch it up under cold running water, then lay it out flat and place in the pan. Cover with a lid and place in the hot oven for 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes, or until the shanks are soft, delicious and the sauce has reduced.
Use a spoon to skim away any excess fat from the surface. Carefully remove the shanks to a plate, then place the pan over a medium-high heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until thickened and reduced, stirring occasionally.
Place the couscous and half the mint sprigs in a bowl, cover with boiling water, pop a plate on top and leave to soak and infuse.
To make the salad, destone and roughly tear the olives. Pick the parsley and remaining mint leaves, then place everything in a bowl, squeeze over the lemon and orange juice, and add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Toss together and set aside.
Combine the rosewater and harissa, then swirl it through the yoghurt. Return the lamb shanks to the sauce. Fluff up the couscous, discarding the mint, then divide between your plates. Top with the tagine, scatter over the herb and olive salad, then serve with a dollop of the harissa yoghurt.

A killer mac ‘n’ cheese (Jamie Oliver)

Ingredients

  • sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 23 g butter
  • 1 half heaped tablespoons plain flour
  • Bulb garlic , peeled and finely sliced
  • 6 bay leaves
  • 1 litre semi-skimmed milk
  • 300 g dried macaroni
  • 3 tomatoes
  • 75g  Cheddar cheese , freshly grated
  • 50 g Parmesan cheese , freshly grated
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme ,
  • 2 splashes Worcestershire sauce , optional
  • Half teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 half big handfuls fresh breadcrumbs
  • olive oil

Method

  1. Get a large pan of salted water on the boil. Melt the butter in a large ovenproof saucepan over a low heat, then add the flour and turn the heat up to medium, stirring all the time, until you get a paste – this is your roux. Add all the sliced garlic – don’t worry about the amount because each slice will caramelise like toffee in the roux. Keep cooking and stirring until golden and the garlic is nice and sticky. Add the bay leaves and slowly whisk in the milk a little at a time to ensure you get a nice smooth sauce. Bring the mixture to the boil, then leave it on a low heat to simmer and tick away, stirring occasionally. Preheat your oven to 220ºC/425ºF/gas 7.
  2. Add the pasta to the pan of boiling salted water and cook according to the packet instructions. Meanwhile, roughly chop the tomatoes on a board and season them well with salt and pepper. Drain the pasta and add it immediately to the sauce. Give it a good stir and take the pan off the heat. Stir in your grated cheeses, chopped tomatoes and thyme leaves. A little Worcestershire sauce added now is nice, and so is a little grating or two of nutmeg. Now work on the flavour – taste it and season it until it’s hitting the right spot. You want it to be slightly too wet because it will thicken up again in the oven, so add a splash of water if needed.
  3. If you’ve made your sauce in an ovenproof casserole-type pan, leave everything in there; if not, transfer it to a deep earthenware dish. Bake it for 30 minutes in the oven, until golden, bubbling, crispy and delicious.
  4. While it’s cooking, put your breadcrumbs and thyme into a pan with a few drizzles of olive oil over a medium heat. Stir and toss the crumbs around until crunchy and golden all over. Remove from the heat and tip into a nice bowl. Serve your macaroni cheese in the centre of the table, with your bowl of crispy breadcrumbs for sprinkling over, and a lovely green salad.
