I've been going through something of a Moroccan phase lately. Have been cooking my way through a few of the recipes from Fiona Dunlop's Medina Kitchen, a gorgeous North African cookbook I snapped up for a pittance in Borders just before it went bust. There was a chicken tagine with lemon and olives, a chickpea soup with harissa, and now this meltingly sweet lamb dish. I love the way they mix sweet and savoury flavours - I substituted dates for the recommended prunes, which worked pretty well (although you had to have a sweet tooth, which I do). It's one of the world's greatest cuisines, if you ask me.
