Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

3 lb boneless lamb shoulder
1 small onion,chopped
2 garlic cloves,pressed,minced
1 1/2 t ginger,Ground
1/2 t turmeric,Ground
1 t powdered saffron (opt)
3 T vinegar
12 artichokes,small,wide
12 moroccan preserved lemons
1/2 c calamata olives
2 T lemon juice (opt)

Trim fat off lamb. Cut meat into 1 1/2" chunks. In a 5-6 quart pan,
combine lamb, onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, and saffron. Cook,
tightly covered, over medium heat for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a bowl combine vinegar and 1 quart water. Trim off
stems, tough outer leaves, and sharp tips of artichokes, leaving
pale, tender interior leaves. Cut in half lengthwise; scoop out and
discard hairy chokes. As artichokes are trimmed, immerse in
vinegar-water.

After meat cooks 30 minutes, turn heat high, uncover pan, and stir
often until juices evaporate and meat browns, 15-20 minutes. Stir in
2 cups water; simmer, covered, for 1 hour.

Drain artichokes and add to lamb; simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
Add 8 preserved lemon quarters and olives; simmer, covered, until
artichokes are tender when pierced, about 10 minutes longer. Add 2
tablespoons liquid from preserved lemons or lemon juice. Skim and
discard fat from stew. Pour stew into a bowl and garnish with
remaining lemon quarters.
