Ingredients

1 lamb shoulder (4 to 5 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large onions, finely chopped
2 large carrots, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 head garlic, cloves separated and peeled
3 thyme sprigs
1 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 dried lime (available at kalustyans.com)
1 large pinch saffron threads
Cooked quinoa, coarsely chopped fresh dill, pomegranate seeds, and unsalted pistachios, for serving

Steps:

Preheat a 5-to-6-quart slow cooker. Season lamb with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high. Add lamb and cook until golden brown all over, about 8 minutes. Transfer to slow cooker.
Add onions, carrots, celery, and dill to Dutch oven; cook, stirring often, until vegetables are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to slow cooker, along with garlic, thyme, wine, orange juice, lime, and saffron.
Cover and cook on low until meat is falling apart and shreds easily, 7 to 8 hours (or on high 5 to 6 hours). Skim fat from surface. Serve stew over quinoa, topped with dill, pomegranate seeds, and pistachios.

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil or rapeseed oil
1kg diced lamb shoulder
2 onions, halved and sliced
5 garlic cloves, crushed
thumb-sized piece ginger, peeled and grated or finely chopped
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cinnamon
pinch saffron (or turmeric, to add colour)
½ large or 1 small preserved lemon, skin only, finely chopped
1 tbsp tomato purée
600ml hot beef stock or lamb stock
1 tbsp honey
1 lemon, zested, plus a squeeze of juice
80g pitted Kalamata olives
handful chopped mint, coriander or parsley (or a combination)
couscous or rice, to serve

Steps:

Set the slow cooker to low. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and brown the lamb in batches, transferring to the slow cooker as you go. Add the remaining oil and the onions to the pan and cook for 8-10 mins until softened. Tip in the garlic and ginger and stir for 1-2 mins, then add the spices, preserved lemon and tomato purée. Warm through, then tip into the slow cooker. Swirl some water around the pan, then pour into the slow cooker along with the stock. Season, cover and cook for 6-8 hrs.
Once the meat is really tender, turn the heat up to high. Add the honey, lemon and olives and cook for 20-30 mins. Top with the herbs and serve with couscous or rice.
