Rub the lamb with ras el hanout, cinnamon, turmeric, and salt.
Finely chop the onions and crush the garlic.
Melt the butter in a pot and sear the lamb for 10 minutes, until browned.
Add the onions and garlic, then cook for 7 minutes until softened.
Add the water, cover, and cook over low heat for 95 minutes.
Add the raisins and honey, then cook uncovered for 24 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Toast the almonds in a dry pan for 3 minutes, scatter them over the lamb tagine, and serve.
💡 Tip: Do not add the honey too early; once the lamb is tender, it caramelizes the sauce without creating a burnt layer on the bottom of the pot.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve mrouzia over plain couscous or rice with optional mint yogurt and orange slices.
