Lamb Tagine
When I first made this Moroccan lamb tagine, I left the kitchen window open. The smell attracted several neighbors and my husband who came in and said that it smelled so good that he hoped it was coming from our house and not from someone else's! If you don't have a tagine, you can use a heavy-bottomed pot.
