Mutton (Goats Meat)/Lamb and Pomegranate Tagine served with Onion and Pomegranate Relish (Moroccan)
I have
been meaning to make this dish ever since I saw the recipe on TV on one of
Nigella Lawson’s Christmas food shows. Finally, I made it yesterday…. For the
first time. I expected this dish to be different.. do not know how…. but
different.
The dish
is on the verge of being little sweet. It has dates so the sweetness is
explained. However, I did not use as many dates as the original recipe asked
for. Yet it is little sweet. The sourness of the pomegranate sorts of make up
for it but somehow I am not very keen on sweet- savory dishes. Nevertheless, R
really liked it. He thought it was rather unique.
But, I
must say the onion and pomegranate relish was to die for. It was exactly what I
imagined it to be. Yummy! I loved the
look and color of the dish.
I did not
follow the recipe to the T and made my own twists. Added bit of chili, used
very little dates. I am happy that I keep doing this kind of experiments. If you
are the experimentative kind, then you might want to try making this one. It was
nice with couscous though.
