What it is
A celebrated Marrakesh specialty: exceptionally tender lamb (or sometimes beef) slow-cooked for many hours in an urn (tangia) with preserved lemons, garlic, cumin, saffron, and a generous amount of olive oil. The result is fall-off-the-bone meat in a rich, flavorful broth. Modified by omitting bread.
Key ingredients
Lamb shoulder/neck, preserved lemons, garlic, olive oil, cumin, saffron, smen (aged preserved butter, if available), water, salt.
How to make it keto
