Pour in the saffron-infused water. Add enough water or lamb broth to almost cover the meat. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover tightly, and cook for 2 hours, or until the lamb is very tender.
💡 專業提示: Check periodically and add more liquid if needed to prevent sticking. - 5
Stir in the honey and the drained raisins. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 30-45 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld.

Just before serving, stir in most of the fried almonds, reserving some for garnish. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more honey or salt if necessary.
