For the Couscous:
Method

3. Add the garlic, onion, almonds and cinnamon sticks. Pour in the tomato juice and chicken stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for 2 hours until the lamb is tender.
4. Remove the lamb from the casserole dish and set aside. Add the chopped tomatoes and the honey, bring to the boil and cook uncovered, stirring now and then, until the sauce has thickened, around 20 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, steam the couscous in an oiled steamer or prepare following packet instructions. Season with salt and mix in chopped coriander and chopped almonds.
6. Return the lamb to the casserole dish and add the chopped coriander. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper and serve with couscous.
