Directions
A Very Special Moroccan Lamb Stew, When an inexpensive cut of lamb is given exotic treatment, it becomes interesting enough to serve on special occasions Cubes of lamb shoulder are simmered with ginger, turmeric and tomatoes, then combined with raisins and almonds This recipe is especially good for people who like to entertain but also work full-time because it can be made ahead and reheated just before serving , This was a lovely and yes, very special stew I adore lamb so I expected it would be great I looked at the number of raisins once they had bloomed and thought it was too many so I put in about half the suggested amount 5 minutes later I got up from the table and added the rest They provide the perfect amount of ‘sweet’ Next time I might amp up the spices a little but that is just a matter of personal taste A solid recipe!
