Notes

  • OVEN LAMB TIPS
  • Have your butcher cut off your lamb chunks into equal sizes. Choose your favorite cut for this recipe. Make the Moroccan spice blend ahead of time and store it in your spice cabinet for other recipes too! For the Sweet and Spicy Sauce: use fresh or dried fruits. Figs are usually the first choice of fruit, however apricots and prunes are also popular. As for the spice, make it as mild or spicy as you can handle. Also select the time of pepper that is relevant to your tastebud. Searing the lamb before cooking in the oven produces a crust which offers a contrast in texture and intensifies the flavors. Roast the lamb to your desired doneness. Serve this Lamb recipe with Moroccan couscous, pasta, rice, bread, mashed potatoes or a simple salad. Store leftover lamb in the fridge for up to 5 days and reheat in the oven for 10 minutes with a tablespoon of water. ENJOY!!
