Moroccan Lamb (Veggie option too)!

My version of Moroccan lamb, no chillies in this one, especially for those who come to dinner but prefer warmth spice but don't like it too hot. If you prefer it hot you can add a chilli or two. If you are vegetarian you could swap the lamb for aubergine, chickpeas or butternut squash. A beautiful beautiful vibrant, nutritious warming dish for these crisp Autumn days...
