  • Lamb tagine with figs and apricots (Tajine d'agneau aux figues et abricots)

    • Jesmondgirl on February 27, 2020

      Use prunes too. Cook meat in slow cooker. This recipe used 9 fluid ounces of oil in marinade. Maybe should have drained more off and I did fry off meat and then cook in slow cooker but was horribly oily even though I used less than half the amount indicated. Cooled rest down and removed as much oil as I could and then was better. Also the fruit was very sweet even though I used much less sugar than recipe and there seemed to be too much fruit even though I reduced the quantity. Would not repeat this dish. Other similar tagines in this book do not use so much oil.

Publishers Text

The best North African food is rooted in the home rather than in restaurants. For her first book, "New Tapas", Fiona Dunlop sought out innovative restaurant and bar cooks; this time she turns her attention to home cooks producing stunning and often innovative food in beautiful houses in Morocco, Tunisia and Libya. As well as classic dishes, these cooks are creating new recipes by fusing traditional Arab and Mediterranean food. Their recipes and stories are accompanied by photographs of their food taken in courtyards strewn with orange trees, kitchens with Arabian tiles and classical dining rooms as well as of the markets they shop at and the Medina they visit. The book features a chapter dedicated to each home cook. Fiona profiles eight cooks in all.
