Soak the dried apricots in lukewarm water for 10 minutes, then drain.
Sear the meat in the pot for 8 minutes.
Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes so the meat juices gather back in the pot.
Add the hot water and cook the meat covered for 20 minutes.
Add the apricots and cook over low heat for 16 minutes.
Rest the stew for 8 minutes and serve without breaking up the apricots.
Do not use a ladle when stirring the apricots, so the fruit does not crush and cloud the sauce.
💡 Tip: Adding the apricots near the end helps them keep their shape.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with rice or bulgur alongside.
