Traitor's Torment Tagine

Instructions Culinaires Détaillées:

1. Begin your preparation during the waning moon phase, ideally on a Tuesday (Mars' day) which is associated with confrontation and justice.
2. On a small piece of paper, write the name of the person who betrayed you. Place this paper under your cutting board throughout the preparation.
3. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, harissa paste, minced garlic, cumin, turmeric, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Add the lamb to the spice mixture and massage well to coat each piece. As you handle the meat, visualize the person who betrayed you and feel the discomfort they deserve.
5. Let the meat marinate for at least 3 hours, ideally overnight. During this time, the paper with the name should remain under the marinating bowl.
6. When ready to cook, heat a tagine pot or heavy Dutch oven over medium-low heat. If you don't have a tagine, any heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid will work.
7. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the pot and layer the sliced onions at the bottom in a counterclockwise spiral pattern.
8. Place the marinated meat on top of the onions. As you add each piece, whisper the specific betrayal this person committed against you.
9. Arrange the bitter orange slices, black olives, and preserved lemons around the meat in a circle, symbolizing the cycle of karma that will return to your betrayer.
10. Scatter the dried apricots and chickpeas over the arrangement, then pour the vegetable stock around the edges, being careful not to wash away your arrangement.
11. Place the cinnamon stick in the center, standing upright if possible, to represent the central axis of justice.
12. Cover the tagine or pot and cook on the lowest possible heat for 3 hours. The slow cooking symbolizes the gradual but inevitable return of karmic justice.
13. Every 30 minutes, briefly remove the lid and stir the stew counterclockwise three times while saying, 'As you have done, so shall you receive' or a similar phrase that resonates with your intent.
14. After 3 hours, the meat should be tender and the flavors well-melded. Remove the cinnamon stick and discard it.
15. Before serving, take the paper with the name and burn it over the pot, allowing the ashes to fall into the tagine (be careful with this step and ensure proper ventilation).
16. Serve the tagine when your betrayer is expected to visit. If they will not be present, you may serve it to others while focusing on your intent, or consume it yourself to activate the curse.
