Steps:
- Mix first 6 ingredients in large bowl. Add lamb and toss to coat. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add lamb to skillet and cook until browned on all sides, turning occasionally and adding 2 more tablespoons oil to skillet between batches, about 8 minutes per batch. Transfer lamb to another large bowl after each batch.
- Add onion and tomato paste to drippings in skillet. Reduce heat to medium; sauté until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add broth, garbanzo beans, apricots, tomatoes, cinnamon sticks, ginger, and lemon peel and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Return lamb to skillet and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until lamb is just tender, about 1 hour. Uncover and simmer until sauce thickens enough to coat spoon, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Rewarm over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.)
- Transfer lamb and sauce to bowl. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use bone-in lamb shoulder or lamb neck. However, these cuts will take longer to cook.
- If you don't have time to marinate the lamb, you can skip this step. However, marinating the lamb will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor.
- Be sure to brown the lamb before adding it to the stew. This will help to develop the lamb's flavor and prevent it from becoming dry.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. This will add flavor and color to the dish.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. This is a great way to customize the stew to your own taste.
- Serve the stew with a side of couscous, rice, or naan bread.
Conclusion:
Moroccan lamb and sweet potato stew is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. The lamb is tender and flavorful, the sweet potatoes are soft and creamy, and the broth is rich and flavorful. This stew is sure to become a family favorite.
