Mitzi’s Morrocan Lamb

Standard

I visited a friend in Perth recently and she took me to her friend Mitzi’s house where she had made the most amazing Morrocan Lamb curry with a lovely mixture of sweetness, heat and tender meat. Of course we both wanted the recipe afterwards and here it is. I cooked mine with rice (to suit my family) but Mitzi had done hers with couscous with fresh tomato and coriander and it was delish.
