Chef tips
To get the most out of your saffron threads, soak them in a tablespoon of warm water before adding them to the stew. It gives the lamb a deep golden color and a wonderful aroma that fills the whole house. Kids can help measure the spices and stir the sauce. For a festive touch, top with toasted almonds or add a handful of prunes for a subtle sweetness that pairs perfectly with the meat.
