Moroccan Lamb Fillet (Backstrap) image

This is very simple marinade to make and is wonderful with lamb served over couscous and topped with a mint yogurt. This works particularly well with a lamb fillet (backstrap) as it is one of the better cuts of lamb and comes out so juicy and tender. I marinated my lamb in the morning before work and cooked it in the evening, it is better if you can marinate at least a few hours to allow the flavours to come through. I made this with just 2 lamb fillets that were quite a good size but I think there would be enough marinade mix for 3, so I have listed 2-3 below. Prep time does not include marinating time.

This recipe was just okay. The lamb was a bit tough and the sauce was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste, but it's still very good. I just use less chili powder next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this recipe didn't turn out well for me. The lamb was dry and the sauce was bland. I'll have to try it again.

This recipe is a keeper! The lamb was fall-off-the-bone tender and the spices were perfect. I served it with roasted vegetables and it was a complete meal. Thanks for sharing!

This recipe was a total fail for me. The lamb was tough and the spices were overpowering. I followed the recipe exactly, but something must have gone wrong. I'm disappointed because I was really looking forward to trying this dish.
