Here's a flavorful spiced lamb stew the whole family will enjoy. Serve this lamb stew with hot cooked rice, grits, or cous cous.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder or stewing lamb
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • dash coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes with juice
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • juice of 1/2 lemon

Preparation:

Trim fat from lamb; cut into bite-size pieces. Sprinkle with salt and pepper then toss with the flour.

In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the floured lamb pieces and the chopped onion; cook until lamb is browned on all sides, stirring frequently. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour, until lamb is tender.

This easy to make recipe is a tasty variation from the traditional Irish lamb stews. The seasoning reminded my family of dishes we have tried at Indian restaurants. I added a can of garbanzo beans and served the stew with basmati rice. Very good!
