Lamb Tagine with Prunes and Almonds

Slow-braised lamb shoulder tagine with sweet prunes, toasted almonds, saffron and honey. Adding the prunes and honey only in the final thirty minutes of braising, rather than at the start, is what keeps them plump and distinct instead of dissolving into the sauce.
