- Brown the seasoned chops in 1 tablespoons of the oil in a skillet. Set aside.
- Sauté onions, garlic, in a stewing or large pot in the other 1 tablespoons of oil until onions are translucent.
- Add the cooking salt, pepper, ginger and paprika. Sauté with the onions and garlic for 1 minute.
- Add the chops to the pot along with the water and drop in the parsley and coriander parcels. Add tomato (grated as we do here or chopped) and stir being careful not to dislodge the herb packets.
- Bring to the boil. Cover and simmer on low heat 30 minutes. Uncover and simmer on medium low heat another 15 minutes.
- Place the chops onto a platter and cover with the brothy sauce. Serve with bread, salad and a cold drink. Follow with a pot of mint tea. P.S. Yes, Mohamed and I serve sauce tomatish with this too! We love the stuff, what can I say?!

Great recipe for tender lamb and a wonderfully aromatic sauce. It's a bit messy to eat and, to be honest, if no one was looking I would have just tucked in with my fingers like we often did in Morocco! I used the extra broth as a base for a soup -- it was so flavourful it seemed a shame to waste it.

I am marrying soon to a man who loves to eat as much as I love to cook. Gym, here he comes! I am also currently working on 3 cookbooks though I need Dragon software now due to my disabilities.
My fiance and I love to be outdoors, have picnics and barbeques where I smoke all sorts of meats. I have traveled the world and am now still in my home port; at least to live but no moss grows under these feet!
My fiance cannot cook, however and is now receiving cooking lessons from me. Anyone interested in cooking lessons in my area, please feel free to get in touch.
