olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is more cost-effective for cooking.

Prepare the lamb by cutting it into large pieces.

Mix garlic, cumin, coriander, ginger, saffron, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

Rub the spice mixture all over the lamb pieces, ensuring they are well coated.

Place the lamb in a tagine or a heavy pot with a lid.

Add chopped onion, preserved lemon, and fresh herbs to the pot.

Drizzle olive oil over the lamb and add enough water to cover the meat.

Cover the pot and let it marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).

Transfer the pot to the oven and cook for 3-4 hours until the lamb is tender.

Check occasionally, adding more water if necessary to prevent burning.

Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Serve hot, garnished with additional cilantro and parsley.
