Method
- Heat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas 5. Heat the oil in a heavy-based casserole (with a lid) set over a medium heat. Working in 3 batches, add the lamb and brown all over, then remove from the casserole and set aside on a plate.
- Add the onions to the casserole and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring, until lightly browned. Add the garlic, cumin seeds and allspice, then cook for another minute. Return the lamb and any resting juices to the casserole, then add the stock. Season, bring to the boil, then add the prunes. Cover with the lid, then transfer to the oven and cook for 1½ hours or until the meat is tender.
- Add the pomegranate molasses, season, then sprinkle with coriander and pistachios and serve with couscous.

Made this yesterday for dinner and everyone loved it. I couldn’t find pomegranate molasses so I bought a pomegranate instead and hacked that up on top of the dish. It looked fancier and tasted good too.
