Moroccan Lamb Stew with Apricots
The lamb gets mellow from cooking until tender, and the warm spices take away any overly "lamby" flavor. The apricots, cilantro, and pine nuts are a wonderful combination. This stew took very little time or effort--very nice for a complex-flavored dish like this. This would be great with crusty bread, served over couscous, or with chickpeas added in for a heartier meal.

I saw this at a festival last year but never got to try it, so I came up with a recipe that I love and is very adaptable to different tastes. Serve hot with brown basmati rice and papadums.
