In this recipe, beef can be completely safely replaced with lamb - the result will be just as good.
Sprinkle Raz el Hanout, salt evenly on a cutting board and coat the meat pieces well in this mixture.
Heat a large skillet over high heat with olive oil. Quickly fry the meat on both sides, until browned (to seal it).
Drain the water from the chickpeas and place them in a tagine. Add a teaspoon of olive oil. Lay the meat on top. Fill with saffron solution. Add dried apricots and cook over medium heat for about an hour with the lid closed.
Then add bell peppers and halved tomatoes. Close the lid and cook for another hour over medium-low heat. Sprinkle parsley or cilantro on top, if desired.
