Lamb is new for me, so we are still acquiring a taste for it, but this was quite tasty. I think next time, I will also add a little more garlic, salt and pepper.

This was a really nice dish. I found that just the moroccan spice did not really do very much for me on the lamb, next time I'll use ras el hanout or another blend. I doubled the garlic in the veggie sauce and added salt and pepper, and it came out beautifully! Thanks for posting!
