Moroccan Eggs & Lamb_1019279 1

Ingredients

  • 6 hard-boiled eggs
  • 1.25kg lamb shoulder chops (try a forequarter chop)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 onions, coarsely grated
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1⁄4 tsp ground saffron threads
  • 1 large handful coriander leaves, chopped
  • 40g butter
  • 150g blanched almonds
  • Coriander leaves, extra, to serve

Method

  1.  Heat half the olive oil in a large saucepan over high heat. 
  2. Trim the excess fat from the chops and brown the lamb on each side in batches in the pan, removing to a dish when cooked.
  3. Add a little more oil as required to the pan and reduce the heat to low, add the remaining oil and the onion and cook for 5 minutes, or until the onion has softened. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for a few seconds.
  4. Pour in 375ml water and stir to lift the browned juices off the base of the pan. Return the lamb to the pan, along with the saffron, 1 teaspoon salt and a good grinding of black pepper. Cover and simmer over low heat an hour and 15 minutes, then stir in the coriander and cook for a further 15 minutes, or until the lamb is tender.
  5. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a separate frying pan over medium heat, add the almonds and fry them, tossing frequently. Once golden, remove the almonds from the pan and set them aside in a bowl to prevent them over-browning.
  6. Shell and halve the boiled eggs.
  7. Arrange the lamb on a serving dish, spoon the sauce over and sprinkle with the almonds (warm the almonds a little first if the butter has congealed). Arrange the eggs on top and scatter with a few coriander leaves to serve.
