Method
step 1
Brown the lamb shanks all over in a little oil. Put in a large casserole with the onions, garlic, saffron, ground ginger, cumin and cinnamon.
step 2
Add the dates, cherry tomatoes and enough chicken stock to barely cover. Cover and simmer for 2-2½ hours until meat is tender. Cool, then freeze. To use, defrost completely overnight, then heat gently until piping hot.
step 3
Serve with couscous mixed with the almonds, pistachios and parsley.
