Mrouzia (Sweet Lamb with Raisins & Almonds)
Mrouzia is one of the most ancient and ceremonial dishes in Moroccan cuisine, traditionally prepared for Eid Al-Adha. This majestic sweet-and-savory tajine features tender lamb shoulder slow-braised with Ras el Hanout, honey, raisins, and toasted almonds until the meat falls apart and the sauce turns into a dark, glossy caramel. It is a dish that every Moroccan grandmother guards with pride — a living relic of Andalusian culinary influence that has been perfected over centuries in the kitchens of Fez and Marrakech.
