Moroccan Slow-Cooked Lamb

Moroccan Slow-Cooked Lamb

I wanted to cook with Lamb because I've never done it before, and I read an article in Cooks Illustrated that made it seem difficult to get the meat tender and taste good.  I was a little hesitant to try it, but I've had enough of chicken, pork and beef...it's lamb time.  I used a recipe from epicurious.com (Moroccan Slow- Cooked Lamb).  It was super easy and sooooooo tasty.  The lamb just melts in your mouth. 

I made a few minor adjustments:
-nixed the fennel seeds
-use two cans of chickpeas instead of one
-simmered the lamb for two hours instead of one
