Help me cook a VERY easy Lamb tagine for DH on Father's Day pleeeease!

[Holymoly321]

Ok, Dh has specified that he would LOVE a Lamb tagine for dinner on Fathers day. I am a bad lazy cook and though I love DH, I've looked at recipes online and they all seem to be super complicated with lots of teaspoons of various herbs and spices that I dont have and can't afford to buy. Someone then mentioned Tagine Paste and I'm thinking I could use that with some chopped tomatoes, dried apricots, bit of honey etc? Is that possible? Help me please! I KNOW you lovely ladies are all fabulous cooks - please help out a total cheapskate novice!

I think you can buy something called ras el hanout spice mix which is essentially all the spices ready mixed (although it's not that complicated to mix your own once you've bought the spices separately). My recipe involves chopped onions, diced lamb and diced carrots - fry these off, add the spices, chuck in a couple of tins of tomatoes, a tin of chick peas (drained) and a handful of dried apricots. Bring to a simmer then put it in the oven for an hour or so. The spices are really key to the flavour though!

This one is very simple and nice but a bit sweet - I like that but not everyone does. www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/lambanddatetagine_90621

LAdies, I knew you would come through! Can you get that spice mix anywhere? (I am gonna knock DH's socks off! )
