Lamb and Apricot Tagine with Chickpeas and Buttered Leeks

My modern take on the classic Moroccan tagine. Tender lamb shoulder slow-braised with warming spices - cinnamon, ginger, cumin, and saffron - until it melts off the fork. Earthy chickpeas soak up all those aromatic flavors, while silky buttered leeks add a subtle sweetness that perfectly balances the robust spices.
It's comfort food that travels - North African soul with European finesse.

With a Mexican mom and Italian dad, I spent a lot of time in each country during my childhood so I developed an appreciation for Mexican and Italian cuisines. Cooking is my true passion, and I find joy in playing with food at the intersection of Mexican and Italian tastes. I love receiving heartfelt comments about my meals and knowing that I've contributed to brightening someone's day, even with just a little bite.

Delicious!

Succulent, moist lamb in a mildly spicy sauce, with extra chickpeas & buttery leeks.
Great that it's lower carb, for diabetics like me!

Deli tender lamb with tasty sides

The lamb was well cooked and tender, in a sauce that was rich and complex without being overwhelming. The chickpea side was soft but not mushy and even my husband who doesn't usually enjoy chickpeas enjoyed it. The leeks were a little soft, but had a great fresh flavour and suited the rest of the dish.

Lovely flavoursome tagline and meat cooked to perfection. Good sides but thought the leeks were a little salty

Tasty But Not Complete?

This was very nice indeed. I enjoyed the lamb tagine and also the leeks and chickpeas sides but I couldn’t help thinking it needed something else? It seemed a bit rich and needs rice or some form of bread to eat with it. I dipped pieces of buttered soughdough bread. Would definitely have it again in future
