Moroccan dinner recipes are the cooking of the spice road: cumin, cinnamon, ginger, saffron and ras el hanout meet preserved lemons, olives, prunes and almonds. The tagine — a slow-cooked stew named for its conical pot — is its signature, and lamb with prunes is one of its most loved versions.
Meals are communal and unhurried. Bread scoops up sauces, mint tea follows the meal, and sweet and savory sit side by side in the same dish — prunes with lamb, honey with chicken, almonds with pastilla.
