Method

Heat the oil in a heavy Dutch oven over medium high heat. 

Season lamb with salt and pepper. 

Working in batches, add lamb and cook, searing until just brown, about 4 minutes per batch. 

Using a slotted spoon, transfer each batch of lamb to a bowl. 

Add onions to the Dutch oven and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. 

Mix in broth, parsley, cilantro, cinnamon, ginger and saffron. 

Return the lamb with its juices to the Dutch oven and bring to a rolling simmer. 

Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until lamb is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.

Add dates, chickpeas, and honey to lamb mixture and stir to incorporate. 

Simmer until heated through, about 15 minutes. 

Transfer to a deep platter and garnish with oranges and almonds, if you like. 

Serve spooned over the couscous.
