| 1. Soak the apricots in warm water for an hour or so while you prepare the rest of the stew. | 2. Season the lamb well with salt and pepper. | 3. Heat olive oil in a heavy bottomed pan over medium high heat--enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. | 4. Add the lamb and brown it on all sides, working in batches if necessary--do not crowd the meat. | 5. Remove the meat to a plate and pour off and discard most of the fat/oil in the pan, leaving just a thin veil of oil. | 6. Add the onions and cook them until soft--about 7 minutes. | 7. Add the lamb back in, stir in the spices and mix well, and cook for another four minutes. | 8. Add enough water to come just to the top of the meat and bring to a boil, skimming any foam that rises to the top. | 9. Turn the heat down to a simmer, cover and cook for half and hour. | 10. Whhile the lamb is cooking, drain the apricots, reserving the liquid. | 11. Chop the apricots coarsely and add them to the lamb. | 12. Now keep the pan partially covered and continue to simmer for about another hour or until the lamb is tender. | 13. Stir occasionally and, if the liquid gets too low, add some of the reserved apricot liquid. | 14. Wen the lamb is tender, skim any fat off the top, taste for salt and adjust seasonings as needed. | 15. Add the rose water (if you like--I do). | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
