A recipe from TV political correspondent Andrew Marr, that was on 'Full on Food' a year or so ago. Just found the print-out in my stash. Haven't made this yet, but I'm hoping to over Easter.

Not bad, but not great. The lamb was a bit tough and the spices were not very flavorful.

Easy and flavorful. I used boneless lamb and cooked it in a skillet. It was done in about 30 minutes.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think I can adjust the amount of spices next time. The lamb was cooked perfectly though.

The lamb was a bit dry, but the spices were delicious. I think I'll try adding some more liquid next time.

I made this dish for a potluck and it was a huge success! Everyone raved about the flavor and texture of the lamb. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the lamb turned out amazing! I used bone-in lamb shoulder and cooked it for 2 hours in a slow cooker. The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender and the spices were delicious.

This Moroccan-spiced lamb was a hit at my dinner party! The spices were perfectly balanced and the lamb was so tender. I served it with couscous and a side of roasted vegetables. Will definitely make this again.
