Harissa Spiced Lamb Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today, I am excited to share with you a unique and delicious recipe for Harissa Spiced Lamb Tacos. This dish is perfect for a casual dinner party or a fun family meal. The combination of the spicy harissa with tender lamb and fresh toppings creates a flavor explosion that will leave you wanting more.

Ingredients:

  • 500g lamb shoulder, diced
  • 50g harissa paste
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 small tortillas
  • 150g Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

Kitchen Tools:

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • skillet
  • tongs
  • mixing bowl

To start, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced lamb shoulder and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Stir in the harissa paste, minced garlic, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the lamb is cooked through and coated in the spices.

While the lamb is cooking, heat the tortillas in a dry skillet until warm and slightly charred. In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, and chopped mint to create a refreshing topping for the tacos.

Assemble your tacos by spooning the harissa spiced lamb onto each tortilla and topping with the cucumber-mint yogurt mixture. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious flavors!

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1000g, with 8 servings. Each serving weighs around 125g, with an estimated calorie count of 300 per serving.

One unique tip for this recipe is to marinate the lamb in the harissa paste and spices for a few hours before cooking to enhance the flavors even more.

I hope you give these Harissa Spiced Lamb Tacos a try and enjoy them as much as I do. Feel free to get creative with the toppings and make this dish your own. Happy cooking!
