Lamb and Apricot Tagine and Mixed Berry Fool

Tomorrow I am going on school camp, hiking on the Bibbulmun track in Southern WA. We need some healthy energetic food for the long and arduous trek. We have to be at school at 6:30am so my friend Hayley is staying the night. She is celiac, so this is a perfect recipe for her because there is no gluten. The lamb is accompanied by couscous and broccoli.
We have a beautiful Le Crueset red tagine, sadly it is not big enough to cater for 8 of us (my Grandparents are still here!). I am therefore using the old faithful copper casserole dish, which is large enough to feed a rugby team! The lamb tagine tasted to me, like a cross between a curry and a sunday roast, but with lovely spices. It was definitely more stew than tagine and would benefit from the apricots being cut into smaller pieces. It was a 'nice' dinner, but not my favourite!

With this all this is happening I decided to make something nice and easy for dessert. I adapted the strawberry fool recipe from the Masterchef Cook Book and made it healthy, by swapping double cream with yoghurt. I used mixed summer fruit and topped the dish off with mulberries from the back garden. Top Tucker!
