Ingredients: 2 lamb shanks (14-16 oz each); 3 tbsp olive oil; 1 large onion, sliced; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tbsp ginger, minced; 2 tsp ground cinnamon; 1 tsp ground coriander; 1 tsp ground cumin; 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper; 1 cup beef broth; 1/2 cup dried apricots, halved; 2 preserved lemons, quartered; 1 bay leaf; Salt and pepper to taste; 1 cup pearl couscous; 1.5 cups vegetable broth; 3 tbsp butter; 1/4 cup toasted almonds, chopped; 3 tbsp roasted pistachios, chopped; 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped; 1 tbsp fresh mint, chopped

A showstopping slow-braise of tender lamb shanks in a complex sauce of cinnamon, ginger, coriander and cumin, enriched with dried apricots that dissolve into the sauce creating sweetness and body. Jeweled couscous studded with pistachios, toasted almonds and fresh herbs provides textural contrast and absorbs the spiced braising liquid beautifully.
