Cinnamon is possibly the most important ingredient in North African spice blends. Here, its sweetness is balanced by the fruitiness of the dried apricots. This is definitely one of those dishes that's even better the next day, so don't be afraid to make a big batch of this tasty, protein-packed lamb dish and eat it all week. Beef may be used in place of lamb if desired.
