Lamb & pepper stew

Toss the lamb chunks with the baharat seasoning and a pinch of salt; set aside (or cover, chill and marinate for up to 6 hours). Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and garlic, then chop the carrots into 2cm chunks and halve, deseed and slice the red peppers.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a flameproof casserole over a medium-high heat. Add the lamb (discarding any excess marinade) and brown on all sides (6-8 minutes). Lift out of the pan and set aside. Add the onion (and a splash more oil if needed) and fry for 2 minutes, scraping up any brown bits from the pan, then add the carrots, garlic and peppers and fry for another 5-8 minutes until turning golden.

Stir in the tomato purée, then return the lamb to the pan. Add the chopped tomatoes, stock, harissa and honey. Simmer over a medium-low heat, uncovered, for 2½-3 hours until the lamb is cooked through and completely tender. Serve with couscous or flatbreads, and some chopped parsley, if liked.
