Moroccan Tajine

3 pounds lamb, beef, or pork (Lamb is best but expensive)

Cut meat into 1 inch cubes or 1 1/2 inch strips

Marinade

2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ginger powder
2 tsp turmeric
2 tsp cumin
2 cloves minced garlic
2 Tbspn olive oil

Make a paste and mix with meat.  An easy method is to put it all into a Zip-lock bag and shake.  Set aside until you are ready to cook.

Tajine

2 onions (I use Walla Walla Sweet but you can use whatever you prefer)
1 cinnamon stick
5 dates
5 dried apricots
1 cup stock (I use whatever I have around, vegetable, beef, or chicken)
1 bay leaf
3 Tbspn honey
salt and pepper to taste

Saute onions in olive oil until translucent then set aside.
Saute meat in small handfuls until browned.
Add onions, meat and all other ingredients, then pressure cook in Instant Pot for 30 minutes.
