Mrouzia - Tender Lamb Cooked With Ras El Hanout, Honey, Raisins & Almonds. 

Welcome to the third episode of my series, Moroccan Recipes for Eid al-Adha. Mrouzia is not only a delicious meal, but has roots in preserving meat in days before refrigeration.  Here’s a modern, but still traditional, method of how to make it at home in a pressure cooker: 

Ingredients:
3.5 lbs (about 1.6 kg) lamb (bone-in cuts like neck and shank)
1T Ras el Hanout 
1t ground ginger
1/2t black pepper
1/2t saffron threads
Salt, to taste 
2 cinnamon sticks 
3T olive oil
3T unsalted butter
2 medium onions (1 large), finely grated or chopped (optional)
1/2c whole blanched almonds
2c raisins, soaked in hot water for at least 30 minutes, then drained
2-3T honey (adjust to taste)
2t ground cinnamon 
Dried rose petals (optional)

Combine dry spices except for the ground cinnamon in a large bowl with enough water to create a marinade. Coat the lamb in spice mixture, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Set your pressure cooker to sauté mode and add onions, olive oil and marinated meat.  Cook until spices are toasted, a few minutes on each side.  Add cinnamon sticks, butter, almonds and enough water to barely cover the meat.  Cover and pressure cook on high for 40 minutes and let the steam release naturally for 5 minutes before manually releasing the pressure. 

Add the drained raisins, honey and  ground cinnamon to the pot. Turn to sauté mode and simmer uncovered for 10–15 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the meat. 

Plate the lamb and spoon over the raisins, almonds and sauce.  Garnish with dried rose petals and enjoy!
