Instructions

  1. Season lamb with salt and pepper. Lightly spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and heat over medium-high heat. Cook lamb, in batches, turning occasionally, for 5 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Reduce heat to medium. Cook onion, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add garlic, cumin, paprika and cayenne and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Stir in 1/4 cup (60ml) stock and tomato paste until well combined. Cook for 1 minute.
  3. Combine onion mixture and carrot in a 5.5L (22-cup) capacity slow cooker. Top with lamb, pumpkin and tomato. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in remaining stock. Cover with lid. Cook on high for 3 hours (or low for 6 hours) or until lamb is very tender.
  4. Stir in peas, olives and lemon juice and cook, covered, on high for a further 15 minutes. Serve sprinkled with almonds and dried mint.

Notes

SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve with lemon cheeks and pearl couscous (contains gluten), if desired. Cook pearl couscous following packet instructions. TO REFRIGERATE: Store leftover tagine in a reusable container or divide single portions into microwave-safe, reusable containers and store for up to 3 days. Reheat in a large saucepan over medium-low heat or microwave single portions until hot, adding a little water if sauce is too thick. Sprinkle with almonds and dried mint just before serving. TO FREEZE: Store, as above, for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge. Reheat as above.
