LAMB

Moroccan Lamb Shanks are the perfect comfort dish this winter and must-do for all Moroccan food fans! The deep flavours of Moroccan cooking marry so perfectly with the richness of lamb meat. On my trip to Morocco, I ate many a tagine and slow-cooked meat dish. By cooking the meat low and slow it allows the flavours to infuse and penetrate the meat whilst it becomes tender and ‘falling off the bone’ as so many of us love.

Moroccan cooking is well known for incorporating fruit to dishes to enhance the flavours of the spices. I’ve added the tart sweetness of apples and dried fruit into this dish which I think works so well with the meat and Moroccan Ras el Hanout blend.
