👨🍳 Istruzioni

Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof saucepan or cast iron casserole dish over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Ensure the onions soften without browning. - 2
Add the grated garlic and ginger, stir and cook for another minute until fragrant.
⏱️ 1 minute - 3
Add the lamb chunks to the pot and stir to coat with the onions and spices. Cook for a few minutes until browned on all sides.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Brown the lamb in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. - 4
Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, cinnamon, turmeric (if using), paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.

Add the honey and stir well.
⏱️ 30 seconds - 6
Add the halved dried apricots, chopped tomatoes with their water, and chicken stock. Stir everything together.

Bring the stew to a boil, then cover the pot with a lid and transfer to a preheated oven at 160°C (325°F).
