If you don’t have a pressure cooker, don't worry, you can still make this delicious take on lamb tagine. It features lots of spices, such as cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, and ginger, as well as dried apricots, carrots, potatoes, and fresh mint leaves. All you have to do is preheat your oven to 400°F. Brown the onion, garlic, and lamb legs in a Dutch oven as above. Add the remaining ingredients, cover, and bake in the oven until the lamb and vegetables are tender, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Stir in the mint, lemon zest, and lemon juice right before transferring to a platter.
