Ingredients

  • 1kg diced lamb (leg or shoulder)

  • 1 packet of Gordon Rhodes Slow and Steamy Tagine Gourmet Sauce Mix
  • 400ml water

  1. Place the lamb, onions and tomatoes in your slow cooker pot.
  2. Blend the Lamb Tagine Mix with the water and add to the slow cooker pot, stirring thoroughly.
  3. Cover and cook for 4 hours on HIGH or 8 hours on LOW or until the meat is tender and cooked through (keep covered during cooking, cooking times may vary between slow cooker models).
  4. Remove the lid, add the prunes or apricots, stir through and stand for 5 minutes before serving.

  6. Top Tip – smear a thin layer of oil around your slow cooker pot before adding the ingredient to prevent excess sticking.
