What it is
Tender cubes or slices of lamb or beef, marinated in a rich chermoula (a blend of garlic, cilantro, parsley, paprika, cumin, turmeric, and olive oil) for several hours to infuse maximum flavor. The marinated meat is then pan-fried or shallow-fried until cooked through and slightly crispy on the edges, distinct from skewers or stews. Served simply, often with a fresh herb garnish.
