Mechoui is festival lamb, traditionally a whole animal cooked in an underground oven. At home it is a shoulder, salted, cumin-rubbed, and roasted until you can pull it with your fingers.

Mechoui, a traditional Moroccan dish, is a festival staple that transforms lamb into a celebration of flavor. Originally, whole lambs were cooked in underground ovens during significant occasions, marking the grandeur of communal feasting. Nowadays, this dish finds its place at home tables, where a shoulder is prepared with the same reverence, capturing the essence of those festive gatherings. The taste of Mechoui is a bold yet balanced symphony of spices. The lamb, tender enough to be pulled apart by fingers, is infused with the warmth of cumin and paprika, harmonized by the richness of olive oil or smen. Its texture is succulent, each bite a reminder of its festive roots.
