LAMB STEW MOROCCAN STYLE

Lamb Stew Moroccan Style image

This luscious lamb stew has layers of Moroccan flavor that just don't quit. It might be too spicy for some tastes, but this can easily be toned down to suit your taste. It's best if made a day ahead to let the flavor develop. Serve over rice or couscous, or just eat it up with plenty of good fresh French bread.
