Instant-Pot Best Keto Kosher Moroccan Lamb Tagine

This aromatic Moroccan lamb tagine is a great Keto Kosher recipe to make when you have any leftover meat from a roast leg of lamb, or equally put together with diced fresh lamb. Always ensure the meat you purchase is Kosher. Ras-el-hanout spices are added to the lamb, and butternut squash brings a sweetness that compliments this dish. Serve with cauliflower rice and freshly chopped cilantro for a comforting and delicious meal. Kosher Keto tagine is great for the whole family as batch cooking ensures easy meal prep for the week.

This recipe calls for an Instant Pot or pressure cooker to give tender pieces of lamb, but it can also be made in a slow cooker or over the stove in a lidded casserole dish for 1 hour 45 minutes or until the meat is very tender.

What is Ras-el-hanout and how to make this spice blend:

Ras-el-hanout is a North African mixture of fragrant spices, commonly used in tagines, marinades and as a dry rub before grilling meat. Add dried rose petals for added authenticity.

Ingredients:

- 2 ½ Tbsp ground cumin

- 2 Tbsp ground coriander

- 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon

- 2 tsp ground ginger

- 2 tsp ground black pepper

- 1 tsp ground turmeric

- ½ tsp ground cardamom

- 1 tsp dried rose petals (optional)

Place a frying pan over medium heat, add all the spices and toast them gently until they are aromatic and have darkened. Don’t be tempted to skip this important step as it enhances the flavors. Let cool and store in a sealed jar for up to 6 months. Use as needed. You can also use whole spices and simply blend them in a food processor or spice grinder after toasting.

What kind of lamb should I use?

Use any cut of lamb of your choice. Leftover meat from a leg of lamb, any diced lamb, diced lamb leg, diced mutton, or diced lamb shoulder will all be great for this recipe.

What can I serve with Keto lamb tagine?

Serve with cauliflower rice, cauliflower mash, turnip, or rutabaga mash. Garnish with roughly chopped pistachios, fresh cilantro or parsley, and a sprinkle of chili flakes.
