  2. In a large braiser/casserole pot, brown the lamb until golden brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Sauté the onion and garlic until soft and fragrant.
  4. Add the spices and cook for a minute until the pan is dry then pour in the stock. 
  5. Place the lamb back in and spoon the aromatics and stock over.
