15 ml olive oil
2 large onions, peeled and sliced into rings
900 g lamb meat, cut into 4 cm cubes
5 ml ground cumin
5 ml ground coriander seed
5 ml ground ginger
5 ml ground cinnamon
salt to taste
5 ml ground black pepper
4 pears - peeled, cored and cut into 4 cm chunks

Directions
Step 1
In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and cook until soft. Add the lamb and fry until browned. Season with cumin, coriander, ginger, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Pour enough water to cover the lamb.
Step 2
Cover and simmer over low heat for 1 ½ to 2 hours until the lamb is tender. If there's too much liquid, remove the lid after 1 hour.

Add pears, golden raisins, and almonds. Cook for another 5 minutes until the pears are soft.
