3 pounds boneless lamb stew meat, cut into 3/4- to 1-inch pieces
2 cups water
2 cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Combine 3 cups chopped onions, lamb, and 2 cups water in heavy large pot. Add cinnamon sticks, ground cinnamon, salt, pepper, ginger, and saffron; bring to boil over medium-high heat. Partially cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer gently 1 1/2 hours. Add tomatoes and 2 tablespoons parsley.

Rewarm each over low heat before continuing.
