This dish brings the bold, aromatic flavours of Morocco to a classic lamb rack. A marinade of cumin, coriander, cinnamon, paprika, garlic, and lemon infuses the meat with warmth and depth. Once roasted, the lamb develops a fragrant crust while remaining juicy inside. Served with couscous or flatbread, itโs a vibrant centrepiece for any dinner table.
