For a richer flavor, try browning the lamb in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. If you don't have orange peels, a teaspoon of orange zest can be substituted. Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of chopped parsley for added freshness. For a heartier stew, add a can of drained and rinsed chickpeas during the last 30 minutes of simmering.
