Moroccan Lamb Tagine

By:

Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced onion
  • 11/2 tbsp Tagine Spice Mix
  • 1 pound boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup chopped canned or fresh tomato
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
  • Turn the Instant Pot to Sauté. When the indicator reads Hot, place the oil and sliced onion into the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2 to 3 Minutes , or until at least half the onions are browned around the edges.
  • Stir in the Tagine Spice Mix. Add the lamb and stir until it is well coated with the Tagine Spice Mix. Allow the lamb cubes to brown on one side and then turn them over so they will brown on the other side.
  • Press Cancel. Add the water and use a spoon to thoroughly deglaze the bottom of the pot. Not only will this help extract all the flavor from the food, but it will also keep you from getting the Burn message on the Instant Pot.
  • Add the tomato, raisins, and almonds and stir to combine. Pour the honey over top, but do not stir.
  • Secure the lid on the Instant Pot. Close the pressure-release valve. Select Pressure Cook/Manual and set the pot at High Pressure for 6 Minutes. Allow the pot to sit undisturbed for 10 Minutes, then release any remaining pressure.
  • Garnish with the mint leaves. Serve hot, with Easy Pita Bread, if desired.
  • Note: If you would like a thicker tagine, remove the lamb at the end of cooking and set it aside. Set the Instant Pot to Sauté and cook for several minutes, or until the mixture remaining in the Instant Pot has thickened. Pour over the lamb and serve.
