Ingredients

Stew

To Finish

Method

1

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season lamb with salt and pepper, then brown in batches, 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

2

In the same pot, add the onion and cook 5 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and ginger, and cook 1 minute until fragrant.

3

Return the lamb to the pot along with crushed tomatoes and broth. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on low heat for 1.5 hours, until the lamb is fork-tender.

4

Stir in the carrots and chickpeas. Simmer uncovered for 20 more minutes until the carrots are tender and the stew has thickened.

5

Stir in the preserved lemon and adjust salt and pepper to taste.

6

Ladle into bowls and top with toasted almonds and cilantro.

Notes

  • Couscous or crusty bread are traditional accompaniments (use gluten-free couscous or skip bread to keep this GF).
  • A dried-fruit variation: add ½ cup dried apricots with the tomatoes for a sweeter profile.
  • This freezes beautifully for up to 3 months.
