Lamb Tagine with Tomatoes & Eggplant By Yvonne Maffei | My Halal Kitchen Serves 4 This wonderful, versatile tagine dish that hails from the Rif Mountains of Morocco is an earthy and delectable dish that is easy enough to make at home, even without the famous Moroccan clay pot tagine.
Ingredients
1. 2 eggplants 2. Pinch sea salt + 1 teaspoon for seasoning lamb 3. Drizzle olive oil + 2 tablespoons for cooking lamb + 4 tablespoons for cooking eggplant/tomato mixture 4. 2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1 ½ inch pieces 5. 1 teaspoon ground turmeric 6. 5 cloves garlic, crushed 7. ⅔ teaspoon ground ginger (or fresh) 8. ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 9. 2 tablespoons saffron water 10. 1 red onion (medium), grated (about ⅔ cup) 11. ½ cup flat leaf parsley, finely chopped 12. ½ cup cilantro, finely chopped 13. 1 teaspoon sweet paprika 14. ½ teaspoon ground cumin 15. 1 pinch cayenne 16. 2 plump tomatoes (about 2 cups), seeded and diced 17. 1 pinch raw cane sugar 18. Juice of ½ lemon
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 2. Clean and cut the eggplant in half then into strips, crosswise. Sprinkle with salt then put in a colander for about one hour with something heavy over them to drain out the excess water. Rinse and pat dry with paper or cotton towels. 3. Place the eggplant on a parchment-lined baking sheet (or 2 half-sheet pans). Do the same with the tomatoes, only on one separate sheet. Drizzle each sheet with a pinch of sea salt and olive oil to cover the vegetables. Roast for 40 minutes in the heated oven then remove from oven and set aside to cool. Once the eggplant and tomatoes are cool, use a potato masher to crush the eggplant. Pound the garlic in a mortar and pestle; add half into the eggplant/tomato mixture. Add half of the parsley, cilantro, paprika, cumin and cayenne. 4. In a Dutch oven, deep bottom pan, or tagine with a heat diffuser underneath, heat the olive oil. Add the lamb, 1 teaspoon of the salt, the turmeric. Cook for
14
Hyatt Magazine/ Issue 45
about 15 minutes, semi-covered over medium heat. 5. After the meat has sauteed and most of the juices are gone, uncover, raise the heat to medium and boil off all the liquid in the pan, stirring often then gently browning the meat on all sides. Grate the red onion directly into the pan, stirring to combine. 6. In a small bowl combine the other half of garlic with the ginger, black pepper, and saffron water. Stir in 4 tablespoons olive oil and 1 cup hot water. Pour this mixture over the lamb. Add the remaining half of the parsley and cilantro. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer for an additional 1 hour, or until the meat is very tender. Add 1 cup of hot water during the cooking period, stirring constantly. Once finished, turn off the heat but keep the lid on the pan for about 10 minutes to let the meat rest and put the juices back into the meat. 7. In a deep saute pan, heat the 4 tablespoons of olive oil in pan to reheat the eggplant mixture. Add the pinch of sugar and cook over medium high heat, stirring until moisture evaporates, about 5-10 minutes. Cook for 10 minutes on low then remove from heat and add the lemon juice. Set aside. 8. To serve, arrange the tagine by placing some of the cooked tomato/eggplant mixture on the bottom of the tagine bowl. Pour all of the lamb on top then arrange the remaining tomato/eggplant mixture on top to form a pyramid. Surround with remaining sauce. Reheat again just before serving, if desired, and top with chopped parsley. Serve with couscous on the side.

Conversation Differences Between Men And Women TWO WOMEN SPEAKING WITH EACH OTHER Woman 1: Oh! You got a haircut! That’s so cute! Woman 2: Do you think so? I wasn’t sure when she gave me the mirror. I mean, you don’t think it’s too fluffy looking? Woman 1: Oh God no! No, it’s perfect. I’d love to get my hair cut like that, but I think my face is too wide. I’m pretty much stuck with one look. Woman 2: Are you serious? I think your face is adorable. And you could easily get one of those layer cuts – that would look so cute! I was actually going to do that except that I was afraid it would accent my long neck. Woman 1: Oh – that’s funny! I would love to have your neck! Anything to take attention away from this two-by-four I have for a shoulder line. Woman 2: Are you kidding? I know girls who would love to have your shoulders. Everything
drapes so well on you. I mean, look at my arms – see how short they are? If I had your shoulders, I could get clothes to fit me so much easier. TWO MEN SPEAKING TO EACH OTHER Man 1: Haircut? Man 2: Yeah.
