Slow Cooker Lamb Tagine

This slow cooker lamb tagine recipe will help you make an easy one-pot meal that can be served on its own or over couscous, rice or pasta.

Lamb tagine is a Moroccan dish that is traditionally cooked in an earthenware pot with a conical lid called a tajine. The lamb and vegetables are gently simmered until the meat falls off the bone, creating this aromatic stew of flavors.

How To Make Lamb Tagine In A Slow Cooker

You can use any type of cut of lamb (shoulder, leg or shank) for this recipe but I recommend using boneless shoulder because it’s cheaper and has more flavour.

Like my other slow cooker recipes, there are not many steps involved in preparing this meal, once the ingredients below have been prepared, everything gets added to the slow cooker and mixed together.

What You Need

For exact measurements please scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

• Slow cooker (I used a 6.5L but you can use any size)
• Lamb, diced
• Onion, garlic, ginger, cinnamon
• Harissa chilli paste (available at most supermarkets)
• Dried apricots
• Runny honey
• Chickpeas (I use tinned)
• Chopped tomatoes
• Lamb or chicken stock

Add Everything To The Slow Cooker

Once you have prepared the ingredients add everything to the slow cooker and stir together. Put the lid on and cook for around 8 to 10 hours on low.

The lamb should be soft and tender by this stage. You can eat it before this time but the longer you leave it, the softer it will be.
