Recipe of the day: How to make delicious Moroccan pulled lamb in the All-in-One Cooker

Cold winter evenings are perfect for hearty one-pot dishes that basically cook themselves.


I have been reviewing the Philips All-In-One Cooker for about a week now and the thing I love most about the appliance is that you just put all your ingredients in the pot, close the lid and set the timer.

It really is one of the most convenient ways to prepare a healthy, nutritious and very flavourful meal for your family.

This recipe was originally shared by Low Carb Nikki in 2019. I discovered it during my Google search for the perfect Sunday lunch recipe and decided to test it in the All-In-One Cooker.

The results blew my husband’s taste buds. He now calls me a culinary goddess.

Morroccan pulled lamb recipe

I used the lamb pressure cooker setting for this dish and set the timer to 59 minutes. When the time elapsed, I opened the lid and set the timer for another 59 minutes as the meat was not yet soft enough to shred with a fork.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 kg boneless lamb leg or 2kg bone in lamb leg
  • 1 onion, cut into wedges
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp fennel seeds. I used anise, which is a good substitute for fennel seeds
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 cup chicken bone broth. I used one cup of white wine, which is a good substitute for chicken bone broth
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 6 tbsp plain Greek yoghurt

Method

  1. Place onion, garlic, spices, chicken bone broth or wine and tomato paste in your All-In-One Cooker and give it a mix.
  2. Add your lamb in the centre and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over olive oil.
  3. Pressure cook for two hours on the lamb setting. If your pressure cooker only has a timer for 59 minutes, open the lid after the pressure releases after 1 hour, and then reset the time for another 59 minutes.
  4. Remove meat to a plate and pull apart with forks. Place the pulled meat back into the cooker and mix with the juices.
  5. I served my Moroccan pulled lamb with pita breads and Greek Yoghurt. You can also use wraps or flatbreads to serve with this dish.
