Pre-heat the oven to 160C/140C Fan/Gas 3. Heat half the oil in a frying pan and cook the cubed lamb in batches until browned on both sides, then transfer to a casserole dish.
Heat the remaining oil in the pan, then cook the onion until soft and starting to turn golden. Add all the spices with 2 tbsp cold water. Stir over a medium heat for 1 minute, then mix with the lamb.
Heat the tomatoes in the pan until simmering, stirring to pick up any leftover spices. Add to the lamb with 300ml hot water. Cover and cook in the oven for 45 minutes.
Add the carrots, honey and red peppers to the casserole dish. Cover and cook for another 45 minutes.
Add the fresh coriander, prunes and apricots to the casserole. Cover and cook for a further 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, put the almonds on a baking tray and roast for 5 minutes until golden.
Sprinkle the roasted almonds onto the tagine along with the remaining chopped fresh coriander. Serve with couscous.
