Moroccan Spice-Rubbed Lamb Shoulder Chops from All About Braising: The Art of Uncomplicated Cooking

Lamb shoulder chops are very fatty and tasty. The meat was very flavourful and tender, but not much of it. I'd make this again but double the onions...they melted away to very little. Easy to put together... read more >

Jerusalem

This dish took almost two hours to put together including cooking time. I had to breakdown chicken leg (4) and a whole breast so the dish should take 1.5 hours if you use chicken thighs.
I omitted the currants (my bf doesn't eat them) and the greek yogurt garnish. The fresh herb mix (parsley, dill and cilantro) is a must, it really makes the dish.

The rice and chicken were delicious, not too greasy, very flavourful and great for leftovers. I served this with a kale salad.

I would make this again, no changes.

Simple to make. The combo of butternut squash, za'atar & tahini are really good together.

-I peeled the squash before roasting it
- I didn't use pine nuts, subbed in roasted almonds instead
