Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp oil - i used groundnut
- (* i cheated and used english provender's 'very lazy' ready chopped garlic, and also their ready chopped ginger - both lifesavers when you're out of the fresh article or just can'tsp be bothered chopping)
- 2 heaped tsp ground coriander
- 2 heaped tsp ground cumin
- 1 level tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 heaped tsp mild paprika
- 1 level tsp salt
- 3 1/2 oz. dates, stoned and sliced (* i used dried apricots as dates are too sugary for my diabetes. i soaked the apricots for 15 -20 minutes first)
- 1 1/4 pints of lamb stock (*i used the trimmings from the meat plus 2 stock cubes to make a couple of pints of quick stock)
Directions:
- In a large pan, heat the oil.
- Fry the cubed lamb until browned. (* You're supposed to do this in batches, but I was too hungry to wait that long so I bunged it all in at once and it came out fine).
- Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, and set aside, keeping warm.
- Add a little more oil to the pan and heat it up.
- Add the onions, garlic, ginger and chilli and fry gently, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes until soft and beginning to colour just a little.
- Return the meat to the pan.
- Add in the saffron, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, paprika and salt.
- Cook for 30 seconds, stirring well until the meat is well coated in oil and spice.
- Add the dates or apricots, and 1 pint of hot lamb stock.
- Cover and simmer for 1 1/4 hours, until the meat is tender. Add more stock if necessary if it's getting too thick.
- Prepare the couscous according to the pack instructions. Use lamb stock instead of water if you have enough left.
- Into the couscous, add the chopped coriander (* I left this out - didn't have any)
- Add the chopped pistachios (*I used cashews, as that's what I had)
- Stir well in.
- Spoon the lamb over the couscous.
- Sprinkle with the pomegranate seeds (* I left this out - didn't have any)
- * I mixed some sultanas in with the couscous instead.
