👨🍳 تعليمات
- 1
Heat olive oil in a large tagine or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb pieces on all sides. Remove lamb and set aside.
- 2
Add chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the cinnamon sticks, turmeric, ground coriander, and ground cumin. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- 4
Return the lamb to the pot. Add enough water or lamb broth to almost cover the meat. Add the soaked saffron and its water. Season with salt and pepper.
- 5
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for about 2 hours, or until the lamb is very tender. Add more liquid if necessary to keep the meat from drying out.
- 6
Stir in the honey, raisins, and dried apricots. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 20-30 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the fruits to plump up.
- 7
Before serving, remove the cinnamon sticks. Garnish with slivered almonds. Serve hot, traditionally with couscous or crusty bread.

- ✓For a richer flavor, use lamb broth instead of water.
- ✓If you don't have a tagine, a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot will work well.
- ✓The sweetness can be adjusted by adding more or less honey.
