Salt the lamb and sear it in batches in olive oil for 8 minutes.
Soften the onions and carrots in the same pot for 6 minutes.
Add the garlic and ras el hanout, and stir for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the tomato puree, meat broth, chickpeas, and apricots.
Return the lamb to the pot, cover, and cook for 90 minutes.
If the sauce is not thick, reduce it uncovered for 8 minutes.
Finish with cilantro and serve hot if the meat pulls apart into strands.
💡 Tip: Leaving the lamb shoulder in large pieces lets it soften into strands during the long cook without drying out.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with fresh cilantro, and add couscous and pomegranate seeds if desired.
