This wonderfully fragrant lamb recipe is simple to make. If you can’t find bulgur wheat for the tabbouleh use couscous.

Method
- Heat most of the oil in a shallow casserole and gently fry the onions for 10 minutes. Add the garlic and fry for a further minute, then remove from the pan and set aside.
- Heat the remaining oil in the same pan, season the lamb, add to the pan and cook over a high heat until browned all over. Return the onion and garlic to the pan and stir in the ras el hanout. Cook for 1 minute, then add 200ml of the stock and the chopped tomatoes. Stir, cook for 25 minutes, then add the preserved lemon, chickpeas, prunes and remaining stock, and cook for 15-20 minutes. At the last minute, stir in the coriander.
- Meanwhile, make the tabbouleh. Cook the bulgur wheat in the stock, according to the pack instructions. Cool, then stir in the parsley, extra- virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Season and serve with the tagine.

I love this recipe because there is nothing as tasty and comforting as a lamb tagine. One that cooks in just over an hour is even better!
