Serving Suggestions

Note

• I use lean lamb steaks to keep the fat and calories down but feel free to use any lamb you’ve got – just make sure to trim the fat away.
• I could use a whole lot of spices for this dish, but why bother when you can buy the seasoning already done for you!
• Feel free to trade the chickpeas for lentils or cannellini beans or any other canned legumes.
• Three apricot halves may not seem like much, but believe me it packs a big punch and any more would give it too much apricot flavour.
