Chef's Notes
Do not skip the dried apricots; they provide the essential sweet contrast to the smoky paprika and rich lamb fat.
Pro Tip
Let the chili sit off the heat for 20 minutes before serving so the saffron and pomegranate notes fully marry into the meat.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping the entire jar of saffron into the sink while trying to be dramatic for your guests, turning your dishwater into a twenty-dollar luxury bath.

Royal Court Comedy

The Culinary Science
The capsaicin in the paprika fat-solubilizes during the long simmer, coating your tongue evenly for a lingering, pleasurable warmth rather than a sharp burn.
