Stewed lamb with prunes

Incredibly hot with a spicy sweet and sour flavor! Lamb is one of the most common ingredients in culinary recipes of Arab cuisine. Whatever they don’t cook it with. This time we will cook lamb with prunes. I’ll share the secret in advance with those who have a hard time tolerating the specific smell of lamb. When preparing dishes, just add thyme and keep the lid of the saucepan or frying pan ajar and that’s it.

Julia prepared lamb according to your recipe. This year I became addicted to dishes that contain plums. I didn’t have thyme, but the taste didn’t suffer from this, since the meat was completely saturated with the sweet and sour taste of prunes, and became very juicy and piquant thanks to the distant accent of cinnamon. Thank you very much for the recipe. This year I’ll stock up on prunes for use.
