Step 1
In a large bowl, toss lamb with about 2 teaspoons
salt. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour or
overnight in the refrigerator. 
Step 2
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring
chicken broth to a boil. Remove from heat and add
dried apricots. Let sit at least 15 minutes. 
Step 3
In a tagine or Dutch oven over medium-high heat,
heat oil. Add lamb and cook until golden, about 4
minutes per side. Work in batches as necessary.
Remove lamb from pot and place on a plate. 
Step 4
Reduce heat to medium and add onion to the pot.
Cook until soft, 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger
and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more, then add
tomato paste and stir until coated. Add cinnamon
stick, saffron, and spices and cook until toasted, 1
minute more. 
Step 5
Add lamb, apricots, and broth to pot and season
with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce
heat and let simmer, covered, until lamb is tender
and liquid is reduced, about 1½ hours.
