Ingredients

4 servings

  • 2 pounds boneless leg of lamb, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups finely chopped onion
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 2 (3 inch) cinnamon sticks
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 cup dried apricots, halved
  • 2 (3 inch) orange peel strips
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • ¼ cup toasted pine nuts

Instructions

  • Combine lamb, coriander, cumin, paprika, cayenne, cardamom, turmeric, and salt in a large bowl; toss together until lamb is evenly coated.
  • Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or tagine over medium heat. Add onions; cook, stirring occasionally until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, ginger, and cinnamon; cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add seasoned lamb; cook, stirring frequently until light brown, being careful not to caramelize, about 2 minutes. Add chicken stock and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until the lamb is just tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Stir in apricots, orange peels, and honey; continue to simmer over low heat, uncovered, until the liquid has thickened slightly and lamb is fork-tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat, discard cinnamon sticks and orange peels.
  • Divide evenly among 4 bowls. Garnish each bowl with a tablespoon each of cilantro and pine nuts.
