Remove the lamb from the marinate and pat dry (this is important).

Add the lamb back to the pot along with all of the spices, and the almonds, wine, raisins with sherry, and the chickpeas. Stir into the lamb mixture then add the tomatoes, lemon zest and juice, and olives. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place the Dutch Oven, covered, in the middle of the oven, and let braise for 2 hours. Done!!
