Season the lamb rack generously with salt, ras el hanout, cumin, paprika, and fresh herbs.

Heat a pan over medium-high heat with a little oil and sear the lamb on all sides until browned and a crust forms. Set aside.

In a saucepan, combine red wine, cola, and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer and reduce until slightly thickened.

Add dates, rosemary, thyme, and any lamb juices to the sauce. Continue simmering until rich and glossy, then stir in butter and honey.

Return the lamb to a low oven (or keep warm) and cook gently until it reaches your desired doneness.

Thinly slice the fennel and radishes, then place them in ice water to keep them crisp.
