Cut the lamb into large pieces and pat dry.
Sear the lamb in the pot for 6 minutes.
Add the onion and fry for 5 minutes, loosening the browned base.
Add the prunes and hot water, then cover.
Cook the stew over low heat for 50 minutes so the prunes season the lamb with gentle tartness.
💡 Tip: Adding the prunes in the last 10 minutes helps them keep their shape.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the stew hot with rice or bread.
