The tajine was flavorful and the lamb was cooked well. However, the sauce was a bit too thin for my liking. I would suggest simmering it for a longer period of time to thicken it up.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would suggest using less dates or adding a bit of spice to balance out the flavors.
