This set-it-and-forget-it dish is perfect for a lazy Sunday when you'd rather curl up on the couch than slave over a stove. All it takes is a few minutes of simple prep and a Dutch oven does the rest of the work.

The tender braised lamb is packed with flavor from powerhouse ingredients, like smoky morita chilies, fruity guajillo chilies, and sharp tomatillos, all tempered by sticky-sweet dates. It's perfect on tortillas for an inspired taco night, or over rice and beans.
