Keto, Paleo & Gluten Free Lamb Neck Tagine

This warming recipe is perfect to make a large batch, portion, pop in the freezer and you have a tasty dinner ready to go throughout the week! 
We have utilised a lesser known cut of meat (the lamb neck) for this recipe and a Tagine is a great way to utilise cheaper cuts of meat, as the slow cooking means that the meat becomes really tender and tasty. 

What is a Tagine (Tajine)?

A Tagine or Tajine is a famous Moroccan casserole named after the clay dish its cooked in and normally contains strong, fragrant flavours from spices and herbs.

What is a Tagine Dish?

A Tagine is a clay or ceramic dish that has a pointed fluted top, low sides and is circular in shape.

Can I use different meats in a Tagine?

Yes, you can! This also works really well with chicken, beef, fish and other lamb cuts too. 

Can I use a different pot if I don't have a traditional Tagine?

Yes, if you don't have a traditional Tagine pot, then use a ceramic pot, just adjust the water as per the recipe instructions below - this is because a Tagine pot stops the steam for escaping, so if you use a pot with no lid, add more water to the recipe.
