Moroccan Lamb, Apricot and Chickpea Tagine

Moroccan came up in conversation with someone online a few days ago and it gave me a crazy craving for something I’ve never had. Out of no where, Jules came by and it provided the perfect opportunity to play. I searched the Interwebs for a recipe and eventually took two that stood out and mashed them together. Let me say — YUMM!!!!! Clearly, there will be more Moroccan food in the future.
