Ingredients for 4 servings

500 g lamb leg
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
300 g sweet potatoes
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
50 g pitted dates
1 tbsp tomato paste
cinnamon

Step-by-step directions

1- In a tajine (or pot), brown the onion and lamb pieces until the meat is lightly colored.

2- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them roughly to prevent them from turning into a puree.
Add them to the tajine with the spices. Mix well. Add approximately 40 cl of water + the tomato paste.
Bring to a boil.

3- Cover. Let simmer for approximately 15 minutes, until the sweet potatoes and meat are tender.

4- Add the dates. Let simmer on medium heat for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro.
Serve with couscous semolina.

Chef Patrick's Comment

Beautiful recipe, don't forget to salt and pepper, because otherwise, with the dates, sweet potatoes and cinnamon, the whole thing would be a bit too sweet.
