Ingredients
500 g lamb meat cut into pieces
1 tbsp flour
salt
paprika powder (mild)
2 onions, finely sliced
4 tbsp oil
½ a tsp cinnamon
250 g dried apricots, soaked
saffron threads
sugar
1 tbsp rose water
Mix the meat with the mixture of flour, salt and paprika. Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a casserole and fry the meat with the onions in hot oil till it is brown on all sides. Sprinkle the cinnamon on it. Put the saffron threads briefly into lukewarm water, add them to the meat and let it fry with it. Pour hot water on the meat, just to cover it. Let the meat stew gently for 1 ½-2 hours. Then add soaked apricots, a pinch of sugar and rosewater to it. Simmer for another 45 minutes.
Serve the stew with rice or couscous.
The best rose hip tea is the one you make on your own. First, you need to collect the hips.
Rose syrup is really easy to make. It tastes delicious and it can be used in a variety of desserts like ice-creams, yoghurts, drinks, cakes or puddings.
Heat the water with sugar until the sugar is well dissolved.
Mix the tonic and the spring water in a large can. Add to taste some rose syrup or rose water.
