What it is
A rich and aromatic slow-cooked lamb stew, braised with generous amounts of olive oil, preserved lemon, green olives, onions, garlic, and traditional Moroccan spices like ginger, turmeric, cumin, and saffron. This version is modified by omitting high-carb vegetables like potatoes, carrots, chickpeas, and dried fruits, focusing instead on the succulent lamb and savory broth. Served without couscous or bread.
Key ingredients
Lamb shoulder/shank, olive oil, onions, garlic, preserved lemon, green olives, ginger, turmeric, cumin, saffron, black pepper, cilantro, parsley, water/broth.
If you order it anyway
