1Place the onion in the bowl of a food processor and process until coarsely pureed. Heat the oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes or until soft and fragrant. Add the lamb and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until brown all over.

3Stir in the honey, cinnamon and prunes. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until sauce thickens.
