Leksour (Lamb stew on pancakes)

Mauritanian leksour is a savory lamb stew that is served on millet pancakes. This dish originates in northern region of Mauritania yet is loved throughout the area. It is a communal dish and typically enjoyed by rolling up the stew in the pancake. Of course simply utilizing your right hand as is customary there. It is a fun way to enjoy this dish. The stew is only lightly seasoned allowing the flavors of the vegetables and the lamb to shine. The pancakes are easy to whip up and the millet imparts almost a nutty flavor that we enjoyed.
