For a richer flavor, brown the lamb in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Adjust the amount of chili flakes to control the level of spiciness. If you don't have ghee, you can substitute with olive oil or another cooking oil. Serve over couscous or rice for a complete meal. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will continue to develop overnight.

Follow The Directions
01
StepTurn on your Instant Pot and select the 'Sauté' function. Add the ghee. Once melted, add the chopped onion and cubed lamb. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is browned on all sides and the onion is softened and translucent (approximately 5-7 minutes).
02
StepStir in the diced tomatoes, potatoes, and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
03
StepAdd the salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, paprika, and chili flakes. Stir well to coat the lamb and vegetables with the spices. Stir in the tomato paste.
04
StepPour in the chicken broth, lentils, and raisins. Drizzle the honey over the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
05
StepTurn off the 'Sauté' function. Close and lock the Instant Pot lid. Ensure the vent is set to the 'Sealing' position. Select the 'Meat/Stew' mode and set the timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build.
06
StepOnce the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. Then, carefully release any remaining pressure using the quick-release method. Be cautious of the steam.
07
StepOpen the Instant Pot and taste the tagine. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.
