B.I.G. Raya Recipes To Try At Home

Lamb shank is a cheap, simple cut of lamb with a lot of character – taken from the back legs below the knee, the meat is rich with flavour and collagen. The collagen makes it perfect for slow cooking, as the texture of the meat turns soft and melts off the bone. Tajine cooking is one of the best ways to get the most out this flavourful cut, along with being one of the least troublesome – simply cover it and let it slow cook to perfection. Lamb shanks do well to retain their texture after cooking so you can prepare this one day before if needed.

Using a myriad of spices and preserved lemons for a tangy lick of flavour, this Middle-Eastern dish is sure to have you wanting more. Again, feel free to mix up the herbs according to your preference – you can also replace the couscous with lebanese bread if pressed for time.

Semolina is a type of flour made from durum wheat, which grows predominantly in the Middle East. Commonly used to make pasta and couscous, we’ve used it in this delicious nut cake because of its unique texture –  lighter than normal baking flour, this cake won’t have you feeling too full for another slice. Rose syrup and orange zest dance well together to bring you an incredibly fragrant and flavourful dessert to end your Iftar feast.
