FRIJE

Instructions

• 1.   Start by letting the lamb pieces come to room temperature. Cut the ginger into small pieces. Peel the two garlic cloves and cut them in half to remove the germ in the center. Soak the apricots and raisins in a bowl with the freshly squeezed orange juice, keeping one or two aside for presentation.
  Cut the onion into small pieces.
• 2.   In a Dutch oven, pour the olive oil and heat it up!
  Sauté the onions until golden brown. Add the ginger and the 4 pressed garlic cloves.
  Stir and add the meat pieces. Stir again. Sprinkle with spices, add salt and pepper, and stir to prevent sticking. When the meat starts to brown, pour in the water and let it simmer for about half an hour.
• 3.   After half an hour, pour in the orange juice with the apricots and raisins. Stir, add water if the stew seems too dry, and let it simmer for another half an hour.
• 4.   Prepare a small portion of couscous before the cooking is finished, chop the coriander into small pieces, and when your stomach can't take it anymore, tempted by the smell, sit down at the table!
• 5.   Place a few pieces of apricots and the coriander on top of the dish and serve.
