Had this dish last night; very unique flavors - the lamb was really tender. The dates add a nice sweetness. Try this over some Couscous with some yogurt. AMAZING!Этот рецепт был приготовлен/опробован мной!

Wonderful dish. I had this dish cooked for me over the weekend and it was smashing! The almonds and lamb go so well together and the the addition of cinnamon and dates really brings out the North African style and flavors of the dish. Wonderful entree and pairs great with a nice Syrah!Этот рецепт был приготовлен/опробован мной!
