Easy Moroccan Lamb Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Combine cinnamon, cumin, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, turmeric, curry powder, and salt in a large bowl. Mix in the ground lamb. For most flavorful results, allow mixture to rest, refrigerated, overnight.
• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the onion in the butter until soft and just beginning to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix the spiced lamb mixture to the onions. Cook and stir until meat is browned, about 5 minutes.
• Pour the beef broth, chicken broth, and consomme into the pot. Stir in the tomatoes, honey, carrots, sweet potatoes, garbanzo beans, dried apricots and lentils. Bring to boil; reduce heat to low.
• Simmer stew for 30 minutes or until the vegetables and lentils are cooked and tender. Season with black pepper to taste.

Steps:

• In a medium-size bowl, season the meat evenly with the salt, pepper, and cinnamon.
• In a large cooking pot on medium, heat the coconut oil and brown the meat, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes, or until it begins to brown slightly.
• Add the garlic, ginger, and rosemary and cook until fragrant, another couple of minutes.
• Add the apple cider vinegar, bone broth, water, orange zest and juice, carrots, and dates and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the lamb reaches the desired tenderness.
• Serve warm garnished with cilantro.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a very large (12-to-13-inch) pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset. Pat the lamb shanks dry with paper towels. In batches, add the lamb shanks to the pot and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side, until they are nicely browned. Transfer to a plate and brown the remaining shanks, adding a little more oil, if necessary. Transfer all the shanks to the plate and set aside.
• Add the onions and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, adding more oil, if necessary. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for just 30 seconds. Add the chili powder, turmeric, cumin, cardamom and cinnamon and cook for one minute. Stir in the tomatoes and their liquid, the chicken stock, brown sugar, lime, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Add the potatoes, butternut squash and sweet potatoes and bring to a boil. Place the lamb shanks in the pot, spooning some of the sauce and vegetables over the shanks. (They will not be completely submerged.) Cover the pot and bake for 3 hours, until the lamb shanks are very tender. Serve hot with couscous.

Steps:

• Combine salt, pepper, cinnamon and allspice in a medium bowl.
• Add the lamb and stir to coat with the spice mixture.
• Heat olive oil in a heavy, large pot over medium high heat.
• Working in batches, add lamb to the pot and brown on all sides, about 4 minutes for each batch.
• Return all the lamb to the pot.
• Add onion, garlic and ginger to the stew and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the wine and orange juice and bring to a boil.
• Cover and reduce heat to a simmer, cooking for about 1 hours and 30 minutes, stirring every once in a while.
• Grate the peel from the orange and set aside.
• Segment the orange cutting off all the bitter white pith, and chop coarsely.
• Add oranges and grated peel to lamb, cooking about 20 more minutes.
• Stir in the parsley and honey, and more salt and pepper to your taste.

Steps:

• Heat a large, non-stick frying pan. Cook the lamb well on all sides without adding extra oil. Tip in the spices, then fry for 1 min more until aromatic.
• Pour in the chopped tomatoes and parsley, bring to the boil, then simmer gently, with a lid on, for 30 mins or until the lamb is tender. Serve sprinkled with more parsley.

Steps:

• Set the slow cooker to low. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and brown the lamb in batches, transferring to the slow cooker as you go. Add the remaining oil and the onions to the pan and cook for 8-10 mins until softened. Tip in the garlic and ginger and stir for 1-2 mins, then add the spices, preserved lemon and tomato purée. Warm through, then tip into the slow cooker. Swirl some water around the pan, then pour into the slow cooker along with the stock. Season, cover and cook for 6-8 hrs.
• Once the meat is really tender, turn the heat up to high. Add the honey, lemon and olives and cook for 20-30 mins. Top with the herbs and serve with couscous or rice.
