I'm not sure what went wrong, but my lamb turned out tough and dry. I'm going to try it again with a different cut of meat.

This is one of the best lamb dishes I've ever had. The meat was so tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and savory.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of lamb, but I'm so glad I did! The lamb was cooked perfectly, and the flavors were incredible.

The preserved lemon really makes this dish. It adds a brightness and acidity that cuts through the richness of the lamb.

This braised lamb dish was an absolute delight! The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the preserved lemon added a wonderfully complex flavor.
