Quick Moroccan Lamb Stew Recipe

This quick and flavour-packed Moroccan lamb stew is ready in just 30 minutes. Compliment this stew with warm flatbread for plunging into the delicious sauce and a super easy couscous. This recipe is from my travels to Morocco back in April 2018 from a local lady. I spent 12 days around the Taghazout area surfing and discovering delicious local dishes. The original recipe has been adapted so the shopping list isn’t as long as your arm, but it still keeps the beautiful flavours of Morocco.

Ingredients

  • 400 g  Lamb neck fillets, diced
  • 15 g  Parsley, chopped
  • 2 cloves  Garlic, sliced
  • 1 tin  Chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tin  Chickpeas
  • 2 tsp  Moroccan spices
  • 1⁄2 tsp  Salt
  • 1⁄2  Pepper
  • 1  Large onion, chopped
  • 1  Lemon, zested and juiced
  • Olive oil
  • Pinkled onions (recipe)

Let’s Dive In!

Stage 1 - Marinate the lamb

In a bowl, coat the diced lamb with Moroccan spices, salt, pepper, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a drizzle of olive oil. Let it marinate for 5 minutes (or longer if you have time).

Heat a large casserole pan over medium heat with a glug of olive oil. Add the lamb and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned.

400g lamb neck fillets
2 tsp Moroccan spices
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Olive oil

Stage 2 - Build the stew

Add the chopped onion and sliced garlic to the pan and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you haven't made your pinkled onions, now is the time!

1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, sliced

1 tin (400g) chopped tomatoes

Stage 3 - Finish and serve

Remove the lid and stir in the drained chickpeas along with half of the chopped parsley (including stalks). Simmer for 5 more minutes to allow the flavours to meld. Remove from heat and serve with couscous or a fresh salad, topped with the remaining parsley and a wedge of lemon.

1 tin (400g) chickpeas, drained

15g fresh parsley, chopped

 

BIFF, BOSH, NOSH!

Quick Biff Tip

Grab your goat! Swap lamb for goat meat for a more authentic flavourful version. This is what I use to use in the food truck from 2019-2023.

Serve with warm flatbreads or couscous for an extra Moroccan touch.

If you have time, use lamb shoulder for a slow cooked version and trust me, it's worth the wait!!
