AuthorbaidooneThis lamb tagine with carrots gets its vibrancy from spices like cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, and cardamom.
Place lamb in a large bowl, toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. In a large resealable bag, toss together the paprika, turmeric, cumin, cayenne, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, salt, ginger, saffron, garlic powder, and coriander; mix well. Add the lamb to the bag, and shake to coat well. Refrigerate at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
Heat remaining oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook lamb, in batches, until well browned. Remove from pan. Add onions and carrots, potato, mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant.
Return the lamb to the pan with the lemon zest, chicken stock, tomato paste and honey. Bring to the boil and then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1½ to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender.
If the consistency of the tagine is too thin, you may thicken it with a mixture of cornflour and water during the last 5 minutes.
