Warm the goose fat (or oil) in a wide heavy-based pan with a lid. Add the onions and cook gently over a low heat for ten minutes, or until softened.<br />2. Add the ground cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, cumin and allspice and mix well.<br />3. Turn up the heat and add the lamb, stirring often, until browned all over.<br />4. Add the dates, pomegranate juice, water and salt and bring to the boil. Cover with the lid and turn down the heat to very low to cook for two hours.
