Add onions to the Dutch oven and cook until tender, about 4 minutes.
Mix in broth, parsley, cilantro, cinnamon, ginger and saffron.
Return the lamb with its juices to the Dutch oven and bring to a rolling simmer.
Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until lamb is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
Add dates, chickpeas, and honey to lamb mixture and stir to incorporate.
Simmer until heated through, about 15 minutes.
Transfer to a deep platter and garnish with oranges and almonds, if you like.
Serve spooned over the couscous.
