The method is simple: first you take either a fresh corn or wheat tortilla, then you smash a flavour-loaded mince patty onto its surface – this can be beef, pork, lamb or even prawn. This is cooked directly on a hot griddle or skillet until crispy and charred on both sides. Then you load it up with your choice of lettuce, pickles and sauces, grasp with both hands, curl upwards to hold everything in and devour from one side to the other. You can keep things traditionally Mexican with chipotle-spiced beef, jalapeños and tomato salsa, or go in a Turkish direction with lahmacun-inspired cumin-spiced lamb topped with hot pepper paste and yogurt, or try Korean flavours with gochujang-spiced pork, pickled daikon radishes and spring onions.

Expect fall-apart meat infused with bold spices, garlic and preserved lemon. It’s the kind of dish that feels celebratory but requires very little effort – just time and trust in the oven
Try slow-roasted lamb shoulder, then discover pepper, date and harissa tagine, Moroccan-style meatballs with herb couscous, Moroccan-style cauliflower salad or zaalouk with crispy halloumi. This is inspired by tangia, a traditional dish from Marrakech that’s slow-cooked in clay urns buried in hot embers. It was historically prepared by men and taken to the local hammam to cook gently over hours, ready for Friday lunch. The result is always fall-apart meat infused with bold spices, garlic and preserved lemon. I wanted to bring the essence of tangia without the urn or the embers. This captures the same richness and tenderness, with a marinade that seeps into every corner of the lamb as it roasts low and slow. The onions beneath soften, caramelise and absorb all the flavour from the meat and spices. It’s the kind of dish that feels festive but requires very little effort, just time and trust in the oven. Nargisse Benkabbou was raised in Brussels in a Moroccan family. Her approach to food is a love letter to the traditions, flavours and techniques of Morocco. After working as executive chef at L’Mida in Marrakech she wrote her cookbook Casablanca: My Moroccan Food. @mymoroccanfood Moroccan slow-roasted lamb shoulder recipe
Moroccan chicken tagine is known for its bright, fragrant sauce and the balance of rich, mellow onions with subtle notes of preserved lemon and briny olive
Try chicken tagine, then discover pepper, date and harissa tagine, Moroccan-style meatballs with herb couscous, Moroccan-style cauliflower salad or zaalouk with crispy halloumi. This chicken tagine is one of the most iconic dishes in Moroccan cuisine. For me it captures the essence of the traditional Moroccan kitchen and it’s the dish my mother would prepare for me whenever I visited from London. It’s often made for family lunches and gatherings but it’s actually simple enough to make on a weeknight for dinner. The marinade, made with lemon juice, turmeric and ginger, infuses the chicken with warmth and depth, while slow-cooked onions create a sweet, silky base. Serve it with crusty bread to mop up the sauce or a side of couscous. Nargisse Benkabbou was raised in Brussels in a Moroccan family.

Looking for roast lamb recipes? Want to make a lamb shank? Try our easy lamb recipes below, then check out our leftover lamb ideas. What are the main lamb cuts? Lamb is a versatile meat, offering a variety of cuts suitable for different cooking methods and dishes. Here are some of the main lamb cuts, along with a brief description of each: Leg: The leg is a large, lean cut, ideal for roasting or slow-cooking, often served whole or butterflied. Shoulder: This cut is flavourful and slightly fattier, making it perfect for slow-roasting, braising, or stews. Rack: The rack consists of tender rib chops, often roasted whole or cut into individual chops for grilling or frying. Loin: The loin provides tender, succulent meat, often cut into chops or roasts, and is best cooked quickly. Shank: The shank is a tough, sinewy cut from the lower leg, which becomes meltingly tender when slow-cooked. Neck: Neck is an economical cut, full of flavour, ideal for stews, casseroles, or slow braises. Breast: The breast is a fattier, more affordable cut, often used for slow cooking or stuffing. Each cut offers a unique taste and texture, suiting a variety of recipes and cooking styles. What is the best cut of lamb to cook with? Lamb doesn’t have to be an expensive purchase. Buying lesser-used, cheaper cuts means you’ll get the most from your meat and even more flavour. Shoulder is a great alternative to leg, either whole or chopped up for a stew. The scrag, cut from the neck, is also a great cost-cutting option, best used in casseroles and soups. Serving lamb as part of a Sunday roast? We have plenty of ideas for roast lamb, including roast anchovy butter lamb with boulangere potatoes, rosemary and apricot-stuffed leg of lamb.
