What it is
Tender pieces of lamb (not meatballs) slow-cooked in a tagine with mild Moroccan spices like saffron, ginger, and turmeric, creating a rich, aromatic sauce. Towards the end of cooking, eggs are cracked directly into the tagine and gently poached in the simmering meat sauce until set. The keto modification ensures no starchy vegetables are included.
