Lamb with apricots, lemon and cinnamon

This recipe was in the previous post, but now that I've tasted it I think it deserves to be properly presented.  It's really rather good:-

Lamb with apricots, lemon and cinnamon (serves 4; about 300kcals each, 25g protein, 21g carb, 13.5g fat):-

• 400-450g lamb neck fillet (cubed)
• 6-8 dried apricots (cut in half)
• 2 carrots (thickly sliced)
• 1 parsnip (thickly sliced/roughly cubed)
• 2 medium onions (chopped roughly)
• 3 large cloves garlic (sliced thickly)
• 2 stock cubes
• the peel of most of 1 lemon (use a veg peeler to get wide strips)
• 1 cinnamon stick (snapped in half)
• 1 flat tbsp plain flour
• 600ml water

Prepare the ingredients as above, dump it all into a slow cooker.  Cook for at least 3 hours.  Fish out the bits of cinnamon stick before serving with couscous.
