Lamb Tagine
A tajine or tagine is a Berber dish, named after the earthenware pot in which it is cooked. It is also called maraq or marqa.

The Story
The history of tagine dates back to the time of Harun al-Rashid, the fifth Abbasid Caliph. The earliest written records about the concept of cooking in a tajine appear in the famous One Thousand and One Nights, an Arabic-language story collection from the ninth century.
This lamb shank tagine is one of the tastiest lamb dishes you will ever have. It's easy to prepare but packs a great punch. I have experimented with many lamb tagine dishes and this modification is just perfect. Try it!
