  Nice dish but a bit dry for my taste. I adapted it by making a Moroccan style sauce (quite a few ingredients, but worth it!) to serve with the lamb and herby couscous (apricots optional). I hope this helps someone: Serves 2 1tsp ground ginger 1tsp ground cumin 1tsp paprika 1/2tsp cinnamon 50ml orange/apple juice half a red onion, chopped, or a few shallots 1 garlic clove, crushed 2tsp plain flour 2tsp tomato puree 125ml stock (lamb if poss) 3tbsp sherry/wine 300g tinned chickpeas 50g dried apricots Cook onions in oil then add flour and tomato puree. Add spices, orange juice, garlic and stock, then bring to boil. Add all remaining ingredients and simmer until thick. Serve with grilled lamb and cooked couscous. Yum.

  I agree with KatNotts, you need smth extra to make this dish complete. I marinated the lamb in honey-rosemarin-lemon-mint for a day and then use the marinade to make the meat juicier. But this dish is super easy and quick to make!
