Lamb, date and kumara tagine

Instructions

1 Spray a large saucepan with oil and place over a medium-high heat. Cook lamb, stirring, for 7-8 minutes or until browned. Add onions, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened.

2 Add paprika, turmeric and cinnamon sticks. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add tomatoes and 1 cup cold water. Bring to the boil then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1 hour.

3 Add kumara and dates. Cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until lamb is tender and sauce has thickened slightly. Season well with pepper and stir in half the coriander.

4 Meanwhile, place couscous and courgette in a heatproof bowl. Add 1 1/4 cups boiling water. Cover and stand for 5 minutes. Use a fork to fluff couscous grains and season with pepper. Remove cinnamon sticks before serving tagine with couscous. Garnish with the remaining coriander.
