Can I haz resipee?!?
Seriously, that sounds awesome!
Start with some lamb (I buy frozen cubes of stewing lamb, and thaw in fridge the day before). Dredge the meat in flour that's been seasoned with a bit of salt and pepper, then fry in a little bit of olive oil in a Dutch oven. When the meat is browned, clean the oil out of the Dutch oven and put in a bit of clean oil. Sautée a chopped onion for about 5 minutes, then add the cumin, and then the rest of the spices (garlic, ginger, sumac, cinnamon stick, bay leaf, but not the yams and apricots). Throw the meat back in, add some broth (beef is fine) plus enough water to cover. Bring back up to a simmer.
At about this time, preheat the oven to 250F. When the meat and liquid is starting to bubble, put the lid on the Dutch oven and stuff it into the oven for at least an hour and a half. Slow cooker would probably work too.
When it comes out of the oven, add the yams and apricots and cook on the stove at medium-high heat till the broth thickens and the yams are cooked all the way through. Add salt to taste, and serve.
