For a richer flavor, marinate the lamb in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of allspice for at least 30 minutes before browning. Consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a bay leaf to the stew for added depth of flavor. Serve hot over a bed of fluffy rice or couscous, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro. If you don't have lamb shoulder, you can substitute with lamb stew meat or even beef chuck roast, adjusting the cooking time accordingly.
