Whole roasted slow cooked lamb in an underground oven

It did not disappoint 😊

I arrived at 11.45am so not to miss out on the fresh stuff.
The men were just in the process of taking the meat out of the underground ovens.

The smell is amazing along the short narrow alleyway. Apart from the lamb guys there’s also chap on the corner selling trotters with chick peas made a bit like a curry. I have tried this elsewhere and it is Definitely worth trying but that was for another time I was here for flesh!

The menu & prices are posted on large boards on the walls of each eatery.

170dh per kilo for the lamb

150dh per kilo of Tanjia (slow cooked meat stew in a vase shaped clay pot)

I ordered 1/2 kg of the lamb and it was served immediately with bread and some cumin salt.
It was piping hot and was falling off the bones. The meat is tasty on its own but adding a little cumin salt enhances the flavour more. I didn’t need the bread but the mint tea went well with the rich meat.

This is now my favourite place and I will be visiting again & again.
