This organic sweet orange lamb tagine is exactly what you need on a chilly Autumn day. Its soul soothing, warm, hearty and using grass fed lamb honestly makes it taste even better. In this dish we cook the lamb in orange juice and a little honey to bring that hint of sweetness through the meat. I invite you to give it a go, trust me it won't disappoint.

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan (or tagine if you have one). When hot add the onions and cook until they start to turn translucent. Then add the garlic and ginger and sauté for a further 30 seconds.
- Now mix in all the spices and add the lamb. Stir thoroughly, coating all sides of the lamb with the spices. Add 1 cup of water, the juice of 1 orange, the diced potato and stir well. You can also grate in a pinch or two of the orange rind for extra flavour.
- Allow this to sauté on a low to medium heat for approximately 40 minutes with the cover on. Halfway through, add the honey and give it a quick stir.
- After 40 minutes, continue to cook for a further 10 minutes with the cover. Then serve it up with some couscous and your favourite side.
Recipe Notes
*For an alternative to roasted curry powder you can use equal parts ground coriander seeds, ground fennel seeds and ground cumin seeds. Dry roast them on a pan on a low heat for approximately 5-10 minutes, until the colour starts to change to a darker brown.
