Khazani (Armenian Braised Lamb)

Try your hand at Armenian-style kebab! Khazani is an Armenian dish that's a lot like shish kebab — but instead of grilling it over a fire, you sear the lamb in a cauldron and then braise it in pomegranate juice. You could use red wine in place of the juice, but it's best to stick with the recipe so you don't throw off the flavor.
