Moroccan Lamb Stew Recipe

When I think about this delicious Moroccan Lamb Stew recipes the first thing that comes to mind is the spices.A fixture on the ancient spice route, Morocco has adopted the abundance of globally imported spices from traders around the world, which have worked their way into local kitchens for centuries. Moroccan dishes are layered with sweet and spicy, earthy, and bright flavors that reflect the vast array of spices available in local Moroccan markets. It’s best to use whole spices that are freshly ground just before cooking, if possible. But if you buy them pre-ground, that’s perfectly fine—just make sure they’re under a year old to ensure they’re fresh and will pack the most flavor.

There are a few spices that define Moroccon cooking and are not far from the everyday spices we store in our food cupboards. These spices are cumin, saffron, turmeric, ground ginger, cardamom, hot red peppers, paprika, and cinnamon. This Moroccan Lamb Stew recipe combines most of the Moroccan spices to bring you a flavor unique to Moroccan cooking. We tried different variations and finally found a good balance between local ingredients and Moroccan spices.

Living in South African and returning from my third trip to Morocco. Now I have all the spices I need and prepared this Moroccan lamb recipe outside over the coals in a three-legged pot. What a social event and the family loved this recipe. Beyond delicious. I loved the twist with the apricats. Makes it local. 5.00

Wonderful Moroccan Lamb Recipe. We tried different lamb cuts and the lamb shanks definitely works best. We also added potatoes, it works well to absorb all the Moroccan flavours and spices. 5.00

We returned from a Moroccan trip less than a week ago. We were lucky to be able to buy spices from the vast markets available in Morocco. Not knowing what to do with all the spices and then luckily we found this Moroccan Lamb Recipe. What a treat. Thanks so much. 5.00
