  1. Heat your oven to 180C.
  2. Slice the lamb into cubes and halve the dried apricots if you are including them.
  3. Toss the lamb pieces in the plain flour, then brown them in an oiled non-stick pan to seal.
  4. Add all the other ingredients to a large, lidded casserole dish and mix them together.
  5. Cover the dish with its lid and bake for about 90 mins, or until the vegetables have softened to your preference.
  6. Accompany the finished casserole with rice.
