Method
- Heat half of the olive oil in a casserole over a low heat. Add the onion and gently fry for 10 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and fry for a further 2 minutes, then remove and set aside.
- Add the remaining olive oil to the casserole and increase the heat. Season the lamb chunks and fry them for 5-6 minutes until browned all over. Add the spices and fry for a few minutes, then return the onion to the pan, along with the lemon zest, honey, tomatoes, hot stock and chickpeas.
- Bring to the boil, then simmer for 20-25 minutes until the lamb is tender. Stir through the coriander and serve with couscous.
