The lamb was a bit dry, and the sauce was a bit bland. I think I might have overcooked the lamb, or maybe I didn't use enough spices. I'll try it again with some modifications.

This tagine was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The lamb was cooked well, and the sauce was flavorful. I would recommend using less honey next time.
