What it is
A signature dish hailing from Marrakech, this intensely rich and savory stew features incredibly tender lamb (often hock or shoulder) slow-cooked for hours in an urn (tangia). It's flavored with preserved lemons, garlic, cumin, saffron, and smen (aged butter), resulting in a deeply aromatic and unctuous meal. It's inherently keto-friendly, just ensure no starchy additions.
