Lamb And Apricot Stew


I love lamb with fruit. This is meltingly tender and really tasty.

Steps


Heat half the oil in a large heavy based saucepan , add tomato capsicum , onion and mint and saute 5 minutes.
Remove from pan.
Heat the remaining oil , add the lamb pieces , stir quickly to brown on all sides.
Return the vegetables to the pan , add the apricots and enough water to almost cover the meat.
Bring to the boil , turn down the heat and cover and simmer for 1 hour.
After the hour , season with salt and pepper.
Check liquid content and add more if needed.
Simmer 1 hour more until lamb is very tender.
Serve with steamed or boiled rice , or couscous.
