Ingredients:

• 2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

Instructions:

1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or tagine over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the cubed lamb to the pot, and season with ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground turmeric, ground paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat the lamb evenly with the spices.

6. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and honey, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
7. Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the tagine simmer gently for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and the flavors have melded together.
8. Taste the tagine and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
