- Return lamb to pot. Add onion, garlic and ginger to pot and sauté 5 minutes. Add 1 ⅓ cups water and bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until lamb is almost tender, stirring occasionally (about 1 hour 30 minutes).
- Meanwhile, grate peel from oranges and reserve. Cut all remaining peel and white pith from oranges and discard. Coarsely chop oranges. Add oranges, grated peel and chickpeas to lamb.
- Cover and simmer until lamb is very tender (about 20 minutes longer). Stir in parsley and honey and serve with rice or couscous.
