Moroccan Braised Lamb With Dates, Orange And Olives

1. 1

   Preheat a Dutch Oven over medium heat and coat the bottom of the pan with olive oil. Dice the Lamb Shoulder in 1-inch cubes and season with the dry ingredients (Ginger, Cumin, Coriander, Ras-el-Hanout, Cinnamon, Salt, Pepper).

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   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!
