Trim any fat off the lamb and cut it into 1 inch cubes.

Bring the contents to a boil, then cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour 30 minutes. Add the apricots, carrots, zucchini, tomatoes, coriander, and parsley to the pan and cook, covered, for a further 15 minutes. Meanwhile, following package directions, prepare enough couscous for six people. Add salt to taste. To serve, spoon the couscous onto a serving dish; lift the lamb and vegetables from the pan with a slotted spoon and lay them on top of the couscous and sprinkle them with chopped coriander and parsley. Pour the broth into a jug or bowl to serve separately and let people help themselves at the table.
