Make up the marinade by mixing the cumin, ginger, cinnamon, coriander, cayenne, allspice, cloves, salt and 1 tbsp olive oil in small bowl.
Place the lamb in one bowl. Place the onions, garlic and sweet potato in another bowl with a tbsp olive oil.
Divide the marinade between the two bowls. Mixing and rubbing with your hands to coat evenly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, casserole dish (make sure it has a lid as you’ll need that later). When the oil sizzles, add the meat.
When the meat is just browned, add the marinated vegetables and fry for a couple more minutes, stirring well.
Add the stock, bring to a simmer, then place the lid on the casserole dish and put it in the oven.
Leave to slow cook for 1 hour 45 minutes, then remove from the oven, add the green beans on top, then put back in the oven for a final 15 minutes.
Make the couscous
Meanwhile, place the couscous, apricot pieces and a crumbled stock cube in a heatproof bowl and stir in the boiling water. Cover and leave for 5 minutes, then uncover and fluff up with a fork.
Retrieve the casserole from the oven, the beans should be steamed but still crunchy.
Serve everything to the table with a generous sprinkling of freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy!
