This traditional dish is served as the centerpiece of every festive and celebratory meal in North African communities around the world, from weddings to funerals, for the feast of the Muslim Ramadan, or for the main course of the Jewish Shabbat meal. In my home, I often prepare this warming dish for hearty and healthful family dinners.

准备
Pat the lamb dry with paper towels. Generously sprinkle with salt and pepper.
In a large Dutch oven or other heavy-duty pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches, add the meat in a single layer, and sear, adding more oil as needed, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the lamb to a plate as it becomes done. Lower the heat to medium, and return the lamb and any accumulated juices to the pot. Add the coriander, cumin, ras el hanout, and saffron, and toss to evenly coat the lamb. Continue to cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 45 minutes.
Prepare the couscous according to package directions, adding the remaining 1 Tbs. butter and 1 tsp. salt to the water (alternatively, prepare the couscous with broth instead of water).
Just before serving, toss the couscous with the cilantro. Mound the couscous on a large platter topped with the vegetables and meat, garnish with more cilantro, if you like, and serve with harissa on the side.
Wow!!! Definitely a repeat. Ordered the Ras El Hanout from Amazon, as I couldn't find it locally. First time cooking lamb also. I cooked in a large Dutch Oven following the recipe. Only change was a little more broth (maybe more like 3 cups). Things I noticed that I think will help others: be sure to bring it down to a simmer before closing the lid. The meat will braise for 45 minutes, you don't want to keep opening the lid and/or add liquid. And the vegetables towards the end may look as though they will not cook but trust the author's timing, they will turn out perfect!!
