Curried Lamb Peas With Tomato Onion Salad Food

LAMB CURRY WITH PEAS

Steps:

• Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Add the lamb in a single layer and brown, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. Reduce the heat to medium high and add the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the pot along with the cardamom pods, cinnamon stick and clove. Cook, stirring, until the whole spices are toasted, about 20 seconds.
• Add the onions, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the coriander, cumin, chili powder and turmeric; cook, stirring and scraping the pan, until the ground spices are toasted, about 30 seconds.
• Add the tomatoes to the pot and cook, stirring, until they break down, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the lamb and any juices from the plate. Stir in 1 3/4 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and simmer until the lamb is almost cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Tuck the potatoes among the lamb pieces, submerging them in the liquid; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes. Uncover and simmer, turning the potatoes occasionally, until the curry is thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the peas and heat through.
• Remove the curry from the heat and stir in the yogurt. Thin with water, if necessary; season with salt. Serve with rice and top with mint.

LAMB AND CHICKPEA CURRY

Steps:

• Place the cubed lamb in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, combine the curry powder, paprika, cumin, rosemary, thyme, fennel, 2 tablespoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Add the seasonings to the lamb, toss well to coat, and set aside for 15 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large (11-inch) Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, over medium heat. Add the onion and ginger and saute for 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add the garlic and cook for one minute. Raise the heat to medium high, add the lamb and all the seasonings in the bowl, and saute for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is evenly browned. Add the chicken stock, coconut milk, wine, tomato paste, brown sugar, maple syrup, and harissa. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, partially covered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• Add the carrots, celery, raisins, chickpeas, and 2 teaspoons salt, bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, partially covered, for another 30 minutes. Serve hot in shallow bowls with the rice, a dollop of yogurt, and a sprinkling of parsley.

CURRIED LAMB

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook the lamb meat in batches until browned on all sides, using additional oil as necessary, about 3 minutes per batch. Set aside. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in the Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in the onions; cook until tender and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add the coriander, cumin, cardamom, ginger, turmeric, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper; cook and stir until the spices are fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Return the lamb to the Dutch oven; pour in the beef stock and season with salt to taste. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the lamb is very tender, about 1 hour.
• Once the lamb is very tender, remove the lid, and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 20 minutes. Stir in the yogurt and lemon juice before serving.
