    Method: 

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season lamb and thoroughly brown in single-layer batches, transferring with a slotted spoon to a large pot as you go. Add onions to skillet and cook, stirring often, until softened. Stir in pimentón and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Deglaze skillet with 1 cup broth then transfer contents of skillet to pot with lamb. Add remaining broth, water, olives, garbanzos, lemon, salt and pepper to pot and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until lamb is tender, about 1 hour. Uncover and continue simmering until thickened, about 30 minutes. Season to taste and serve over generous portions of prepared couscous.
