What it is
A signature dish from Marrakech, featuring cuts of lamb or beef slow-cooked for hours in a traditional clay urn (tangia) over hot ashes. The meat becomes incredibly tender and flavorful, seasoned simply with preserved lemon, garlic, cumin, saffron, and smen (aged clarified butter). This dish is naturally very keto-friendly, focused purely on meat and fat.
