  5. Bring to the boil then pour over the lamb in the casserole dish, cover with a lid and cook in the oven for 1 hour. 

  6. Remove from the oven and stir in the dried apricots and honey, return to the oven and continue cooking for 30 minutes or until the lamb is tender.

  7. Remove the cinnamon, bay leaves and lemon peel, adjust the consistency of the tagine with a little water if necessary and season to taste.

  8. Serve with your choice of garnish (see chefs tip) finish with the chopped coriander.
