Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Heat olive oil in a tagine pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add lamb cubes and brown on all sides, then remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add onions and garlic, sautéing until soft and translucent.
Stir in cumin, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, black pepper, and cayenne pepper, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Return lamb to the pot, coating with the spice mixture.
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
Add chickpeas, apricots, almonds, carrot, zucchini, and bell pepper. Stir well to combine.
Cover and transfer the pot to the preheated oven.
Allow the tagine to cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is tender and the flavors are well married.
Before serving, add salt to taste and stir in lemon juice and cilantro.
