Printable Version

Ingredients

  • 2 Kilo diced lamb shoulder
  • 50g Olive oil
  • 12g Garlic
  • 250g Onion
  • 100g Carrot
  • 40g Sultanas
  • 60g Dried apricots
  • 720g Canned tomatoes
  • 2g Cardamom
  • 6g Cinnamon stick
  • 5g Cumin
  • 2g Turmeric
  • 5g Paprika
  • 1g Chili flakes 

Instructions

  • Place all the spices in a bowl and mix together
  • Remove half the spices and reserve on the side 
  • Add to the bowl the roughly diced lamb and toss well
  • Leave the lamb to marinate for 2-4 hours
  • Whilst the lamb is marinating peel the onions, garlic and carrots
  • Once peeled and cleaned remove and root or stem and roughly chop to that same size as the lamb pieces
  • Weigh out the sultanas and apricots and keep on the side till needed
  • Once the lamb has marinated long enough pour the olive oil in a thick bottomed pan
  • Place the pan over a high heat 
  • Once the oil is just beginning to smoke add the lamb dice to the pan
  • Cook the lamb till the pieces are beginning to take color
  • At this point remove the lamb from the pan with a spoon leaving behind any cooking oil
  • Now add to the pan the onions and garlic
  • Cook until they too begin to take a little color
  • As they begin to color add to the pan the carrots
  • Cook for 5 minutes turning occasionally
  • Now add the remaining spices to the pan and stir through
  • Cook out for 2 minutes before adding the lamb and its juices back to the pan
  • (whilst the lamb is waiting to be added back it will let off juices, keep these juices and add back with the lamb as they have lots of flavor)
  • Lastly add to the pan the chopped tomatoes, sliced apricots and sultanas
  • Bring the pan to the simmer and cover with a lid
  • Turn down to lowest setting and simmer for 2-3 hours
  • When the lamb is tender to the bite remove from the heat
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper
  • Leave to cool naturally 
  • Refrigerate till needed 
  • Reheat slowly over a low gas when needed
