Place the diced Lamb into the pot and sear on all sides for 5-8 minutes. Add 1 diced onion and 2 sliced cloves of garlic to the pot and saute with the lamb until soft.

Add the chicken stock to the pot and lower heat to a simmer. Peel the rind off of the orange into long strips and then juice the orange. Add both the rind and the juice to the pot. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer for 1 1/2 hours-2 hours, until the lamb is tender.

Once tender, add in the dates and olives and simmer for an additional 20-30 minutes. Taste for seasoning and add stick of cinnamon or additional orange rind if necessary.

To thicken the liquid, remove the lamb from the pot, and turn heat to high for 5-10 minutes until sauce is reduced. Garnish with some cilantro or a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Serve over couscous and enjoy!
