Waiting for a cook
Tunisia
Mosli is Tunisia's roast lamb, the Sunday and Eid dish where a shoulder or leg is cut in pieces, seasoned hard with turmeric, salt and pepper, browned with onion, half-cooked in a little water and then finished in the oven with potatoes and tomato wedges in its own sauce until everything is golden. The older, grander version roasts the shoulder whole with quartered artichokes, salted butter, lemon and a pinch of saffron, cinnamon and ground rosebud. Either way it is a dry roast rather than a stew, and the potatoes cooked in the lamb juices are the part people fight over.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 14 ingredients and 6 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
