Lamb with Pear Tagine
tagine are moroccan slow-cooked meat, fruit and vegetable dishes which are almost invariably made with lamb, but beef makes a nice alternative. i happened upon this recipe on the berber trading company site while shopping for tagines. i love lamb and moroccan food and this one looked interesting. this has a really nice flavor and goes well served with a flat bread or rice. smells heavenly while cooking.
