Moroccan Style Lamb
with Couscous and prunes
Tagines can take all day. They can also take 20 minutes and right now, we’re preferring our speedy version. Delicious strips of tender lamb simmered in an authentic Moroccan spice paste with onions, chickpeas, prunes, courgettes and tomatoes and served traditionally with cous cous and scattered with a flaked almonds.
Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.
