Lamb and Apricot Curry

CookingAddic This curry is sweet and savory and rich and has a depth of flavor that you wouldn't expect with just a hint of heat from the ginger & garlic. The dried apricots do give it a fairly high sugar content, but I find that eating fruit with meat decreases the sugar crash that you might get from eating it alone..

Ingredients:

1. - 1 T olive oil
2. - 1 small white onion (diced)
