Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium flame. Season lamb, and brown it evenly on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove lamb from pan, and discard excess fat.
- Return pan to heat, and add cubed celery, cubed carrots, cubed onions and whole garlic cloves. Saute for one minute. Add lamb along with wine, sachet of herbs and veal stock. Bring to a simmer, and skim any foam or residue that comes to the surface.
- Cover, and place pot in oven for about 50 minutes to an hour, or until lamb is very tender. Remove lamb from sauce, and strain liquids back into saucepan, discarding vegetables and sachet.
- When meat is cool enough to handle, shred lamb into strips. Cover and let stand.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until just short of al dente. Drain, and hold at room temperature.
- Meanwhile, to finish the dish, heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy saucepan over medium setting. Add remaining celery, carrots, onion and chopped garlic. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, parsley and reserved shredded lamb along with 3 cups of the strained lamb-braising liquid. Bring to a boil, and add cooked pasta. Bring to a simmer, and cook gently, stirring, for 2 minutes. Check seasonings.
- Serve immediately in a flat soup plate.

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, turmeric, cumin, cayenne, cardamom and salt. Mix well until the mixture has turned into a paste, if the paste is too thick add a little more olive oil. Add the cubed lamb to the bowl and toss around to coat well. Cover and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add 1/3 of the lamb, and brown well. Remove to a plate, and repeat with remaining lamb.
- Add onions and carrots to the pot and sweat for 5 minutes. Stir in the fresh garlic and ginger; continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and chick peas, then return the lamb to the pot and stir in the lemon zest, chicken stock, apricots, and honey.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is tender. Sprinkle the stew with chopped fresh cilantro and serve right out of the pot.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful ingredients to create the best stew. Look for lamb that is well-marbled and has a good amount of fat. Red onions should be firm and have a deep red color. Macaroni should be a high-quality pasta that will hold its shape when cooked.
- Brown the lamb: Browning the lamb before braising it adds depth of flavor to the stew. Be sure to brown the lamb in batches so that it doesn't steam. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the meat.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe uses red onions, carrots, celery, and parsnips. You can also add other vegetables that you like, such as potatoes, turnips, or rutabagas.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is an important part of the stew, so be sure to use a good quality broth. You can use beef broth, chicken broth, or vegetable broth. If you are using a canned broth, be sure to dilute it with water according to the package directions.
- Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour: The longer the stew simmers, the more flavorful it will be. Be sure to simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or longer if you have time.
- Serve the stew with crusty bread or mashed potatoes: The stew is delicious served with crusty bread or mashed potatoes. You can also serve it with a side salad.
Conclusion:
This winter stew of braised lamb, red onions, and macaroni is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The lamb is fall-apart tender, the vegetables are cooked to perfection, and the macaroni adds a nice touch of heartiness. This stew is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
