Brain Tajine with Tomato Sauce
Welcome to my table! A traditional delicacy. Lamb or calf brains poached and then simmered in a rich, cumin-scented tomato sauce. Rooted deeply in our Berber and Andalusian heritage, this is more than just a dish—it's a story told through spices. Trust me, you'll need plenty of crusty bread to soak up every last drop.
