Prepare your ingredients and make your own Raz El Hanut spice mix by roasting dry spices and grinding them into a powder.

Cut lamb shoulder into medium-sized pieces (300 to 400 grams per person).

Mix the Raz El Hanut spice mix with the lamb and let it marinate for an hour.

Sear the marinated lamb in a pan on medium heat, being careful not to burn it.

Deglaze the pan with a small amount of Roobios tea and add it to the bottom of the tagine.

Cut eggplant, red peppers, and garlic (keeping garlic in its skin) and add them to the pot with the meat.

Cover and let the tagine simmer on low flame for at least three hours.
