Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir in the oil until soft. Add lamb meat to the pan; fry until just browned on the outside. Season with cumin, coriander, ginger, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Pour just enough water into the pot to cover the lamb.
Step 2
Cover the pot; simmer over low heat until lamb is tender and the mixture is stew-like, about 1 ½ to 2 hours. Remove lid a little after an hour if there appears to be too much liquid.
Step 3
Add pears, golden raisins, and almonds to the stew; cook for another 5 minutes or so, until the pears are soft.
