Lamb Chops Stall #26

The lamb chops served at the stall of Muhammad Moutawakel in the Jema al-Fna probably aren’t any better than those served at a hundred other eateries in Marrakech. They just taste that way, served as they are under the open sky, amid the carnivalesque surroundings of the liveliest public square in North Africa. This recipe is extremely simple to prepare, but to get the full effect you need all three simple components: the grilled lamb, the tomato sauce, and the shallot relish.
