Tajine

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
Olive oil
Butter
1 pounds Chopped lamb (no bones)
1 Onion
Ginger, fresh; 1\" cube, minced
1 Cinnamon stick; 2\"
1 pinch Saffron (just for the colour)
½ pounds Dried fruits (pick any combination you like, tutti-frutti always works fine combined with French dried prunes)
1 ounce Sesame seed
Salt; to taste
Pepper, black; to taste

Directions

Fry meat, onion and seasoning until the meat turns brown (you can either squeeze the ginger in a garlic-squeezer or something, or you can smash it and add the whole thing).

Put meat and onion in a North-african cooking-pot (forgot its name, but an ordinary stewpot will do just as fine).

Add water to a level that just covers the meat, put the lid on the pot, and stew for about 1 hour. Add dried fruits, and stew for another 30 minutes.

Roast sesame seed in a grill or dry frying pan till it's brown.

Remove the cinnamon and cover the dish with the roasted sesame seed.
