3. Add the lamb, tomatoes, bay leaves, thyme and enough stock/water to cover the lamb.

4. Bring to the boil, skim the surface of any fat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer very gently for 2 hours or until the meat is very tender.

5. Skim the fat from the surface again, then add the honey, harissa, olives and preserved lemon.

6. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then transfer to a tagine dish for serving.
