Healthy Fruity Lamb Casserole Recipe

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the meat in a mixing bowl and add the spices and oil. Mix thoroughly so that the lamb is well coated in the spices. Heat a non-stick frying pan for a few seconds until it is hot, then add the spiced lamb. Reduce the heat and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring, until browned all over. Using a slotted spoon, remove the lamb and transfer to a large oven proof casserole. In the same frying pan, cook the onion, garlic, tomatoes and tomato puree for 5 minutes. Season to taste. Stir in the apricots and sugar, add the stock and bring to the boil. Spoon the sauce over the lamb and mix well. Cover and cook in the oven for 1 hour, removing the lid for the last 10 minutes. Roughly chop the coriander and sprinkle over the casserole to garnish. Serve with brown rice, steamed couscous or bulgar wheat.
