Directions

  1. Heat avocado oil in a heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season lamb with salt and brown pieces on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  2. Add onion to the same pot and cook until softened. Add garlic, ginger, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, and cayenne. Cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Return lamb to pot with dried apricots and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 1.5 hours.
  4. Add carrots and continue simmering 30-45 minutes until lamb is fork-tender and sauce has thickened.

Notes

  • Serve over White Basmati Rice or with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
  • Add California Almonds (raw) in the last 10 minutes for extra richness and crunch.
  • This dish improves with time, so make it a day ahead if possible.
