Slimming World’s lamb tagine is a delicious stew with exotic spices and meltingly tender meat.

If you've never thought of making a tagine before, this is a great one to start with - in fact it's one of our most popular Slimming World recipes. It only takes four simple steps, and it's a lovely, rich, warming stew of tender lamb chunks in a spiced tomato sauce. Traditionally this meal would be made in a conical earthenware pot called a tagine - and if you have one, you can use it. But don't worry if you don't - this recipe uses a normally casserole pot and just bubbles over a low temperature for about 40 minutes. If you have a slow cooker, you could cook it in there instead.

Top tips for making Slimming World’s lamb tagine

Tagines are usually a meaty dish - often made with lamb or chicken. You can do vegetarian versions though. Swap the lamb in this recipe for Quorn pieces or you could try using jackfruit as an alternative.

This tagine is best served hot. If you have any leftovers, keep in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat thoroughly before serving.
