Cooking Instructions
  1. Start by chopping the onion and garlic finely, and cut the lamb or beef into bite-sized chunks.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for about 5 minutes until it turns translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Toss in the lamb or beef chunks into the pot. Sear them for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned on all sides.
  4. Sprinkle in the ground cumin, coriander, and cinnamon, along with salt and pepper. Pour in the chicken broth and fire-roasted tomatoes, mixing well. Finally, add the dried apricots.
  5. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then lower the heat and cover the pot. Let it simmer for roughly 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add the cauliflower florets to the pot, cover again, and simmer for an additional 20 minutes.
  7. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
