Instructions

  1. Combine meat with onions, garlic, and spices in a bowl.

  2. Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat; brown the seasoned meat until a crust forms.

  3. Transfer browned meat to a pressure cooker, add 2 1/2 cups water and cilantro. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then cover and cook under pressure for 45 to 50 minutes.

  4. Midway through cooking, reserve 1/2 cup of the liquid.

  5. Release pressure, then reduce the uncovered sauce until thickened.

  6. While meat cooks, simmer prunes covered with water in a separate pot until tender (15-30 minutes).

  7. Drain prunes, then add the reserved meat liquid.

  8. Stir in honey, sugar, and cinnamon; simmer for 5-10 minutes until a thick syrup forms.

  9. Arrange meat on a platter, then spoon prunes and syrup over it.

  10. Garnish with sesame seeds or fried almonds, if desired.
