Add half of the lamb; cook 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove lamb with slotted spoon; place in slow cooker. Repeat with remaining lamb.

2 Discard any remaining drippings from skillet, leaving brown particles in skillet. Add 1/2 cup of the broth to skillet, scraping to loosen particles; cook 1 minute. Pour into slow cooker. Stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin, remaining 1 cup broth, the onions, plums, honey, tomato paste and carrots.
