Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Cut the lamb into cubes (2 cm), season with salt and pepper, and brown in a large deep skillet in three batches (6 minutes per batch). Transfer the meat to a plate.
Step 2
Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 8 minutes. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for another minute. Mix in the red wine vinegar and continue cooking, stirring regularly until the liquid evaporates completely (about 1-2 minutes).
Step 3
Return the meat to the skillet, add the pre-soaked chickpeas, chicken broth, spices, and simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes (1.5 cm). After an hour, add them to the skillet with the meat and continue to stew for about 30 minutes.
Step 5
When the meat and potatoes are tender, remove the skillet from heat. Add the dried black currants, julienned dried apricots, finely chopped oregano, lemon juice, season with salt, mix, and let it rest for at least 10-15 minutes before serving.
