At its heart lies food, bringing families together around age-old dishes that tell stories of our history and identity. This year, join us as we explore three classic Berber recipes to share with loved ones, honoring our heritage while embracing the future.<\/p>\n<h2>History<\/h2>\n<p>Yennayer, falling on January 12th in the Gregorian calendar but on the first day of the Berber month Tamesguent, has been celebrated for millennia. With roots dating back to pre-Islamic times, it is a deeply rooted celebration that reflects our rich cultural tapestry. The dishes prepared during Yennayer are often those passed down through generations, each one a testament to the resilience and creativity of the Berber people.<\/p>\n<h2>Tagine of Lamb and Prunes<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Serves 6<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Ingredients:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>1.5 kg bone-in lamb shoulder<\/b>, cut into large chunks by your butcher<\/li>\n<li><b>400 g pitted prunes<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>2 large onions<\/b>, finely chopped<\/li>\n<li><b>6 cloves of garlic<\/b>, crushed<\/li>\n<li><b>3 tbsp olive oil<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>2 tsp ground cumin<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>1 tsp ground coriander<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>1 tsp paprika<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>1 tsp ground ginger<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>\u00bd tsp cinnamon<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Salt and black pepper<\/b> to taste<\/li>\n<li><b>3 tbsp honey<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>2 tbsp rose water<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>1 litre of lamb stock<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>3 dried bay leaves<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>A handful of fresh coriander<\/b>, chopped<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step-by-Step Instructions:<\/h3>\n<p>Prep time: 20 minutes | Cook time: 1 hour 45 minutes | Difficulty: Medium<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Brown the lamb:<\/b> Heat olive oil in a large tagine or heavy pot over medium-high heat.

Remove, break up any clumps with a fork, add a knob of butter, and return to steam a further 10 minutes until perfectly fluffy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Tips for Success:<\/h3>\n<p>The difference between good couscous and great couscous usually comes down to a few small details that experienced cooks know by instinct.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Never stir couscous while it steams \u2014 lift and fluff gently with a fork only after removing from heat.<\/li>\n<li>If grains are clumping, add a tiny drizzle of olive oil and work it in with your fingertips.<\/li>\n<li>The broth should be fragrant and slightly reduced \u2014 if it tastes thin, simmer uncovered 10 minutes to reduce the liquid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Conclusion:<\/h2>\n<p>Yennayer is a time to honor our shared heritage and celebrate the diverse traditions that define us as a people.
