- In a large, lidded pan or casserole dish, heat 2 tbsp of the oil over a low heat. Add the onions and gently cook for 10 mins, until softened. Add the garlic, cook for 1 min, then add the spices and cook for 1 min more.
- Add the lentils and stock and bring to a simmer. Add the cabbage and cook, covered, for 25-30 mins, until the lentils are tender. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a separate pan. Add the lamb and brown over a high heat. Stir into the lentils with the apricots for the final 10 mins of the cooking time.
- Stir through the coriander and a squeeze of lemon, then season to taste. Serve with couscous, if you like.
