Seal the lamb meat in butter for 10 minutes.
Add shallots and fry for 5 minutes.
Add hot water, salt and pepper and cook the meat over low heat for 45 minutes.
Peel the quinces, slice them into large slices and prevent them from darkening with lemon juice.
Add quince, almonds, honey and cinnamon to the pot.
Cook the dish for 25 minutes until the quinces are soft.
Let the pot rest for 10 minutes and serve the dish with the sauce.
💡 Tip: Adding the quince after the meat has softened allows the fruit to add sourness without falling apart.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with plain rice pilaf and cinnamon compote.
