Lamb And Spinach Curry Recipes

Steps:

• Place the diced lamb in a bowl; add all the dried spices and white vinegar and toss through.
• In a large saucepan, heat the oil and fry the onion, fresh ginger, fresh chilli and crushed garlic.
• When lightly browned, add the marinated lamb and stir well until lamb has begun to fry.
• Add the tomato paste, stock, diced tomatoes and the juice of ½ the lemon, season well with salt and pepper.
• Bring to the boil, stirring occasionally, and then reduce to a gentle simmer.
• Chop the coriander stems and add to the curry.
• Simmer for approximately 1 hour, taking care to stir every 10 minutes or so to prevent sticking.
• When all the liquid has almost evaporated and the curry has thickened, add the spinach and natural yoghurt and stir through.
• Sprinkle over chopped coriander leaves and mint and serve with Basmati rice.

Steps:

• Heat a heavy non-stick pan over high heat. Add the lamb and 3 tablespoons of oil. Sear the meat, turning and tossing, until nicely browned all over. Transfer meat to a plate. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the onion to the pan and cook, stirring often, until the onions are browned, about 15 minutes. Stir in the ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, red pepper, paprika, and turmeric and cook for 3 minutes. Add the tomato puree, meat, salt, and enough water to fully cover the meat, about 1 1/2 cups. Bring contents to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is cooked and very tender. Fold in the spinach and garam marsala. Serve sprinkled with cilantro.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan and over medium heat brown the lamb in batches.
• Add the onions, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes.
• Add the spices (not bay leaves) and cook, stirring, for 1- 2 minutes until spices are fragrant.
• Return the lamb and any juices to the pan.
• Add the stock and bay leaves.
• Bring to the boil and then reduce heat, stir well, cover and simmer for 35 minutes.
• Add the cream, stir, cover and cook a further 20 minutes.
• Add the spinach and cook until the spinach has softened.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan, cook the lamb until browned all over for about 10 mins, then remove from the pan. Cook the onion in the same pan until golden brown, about 5 mins. Stir through the ginger, garlic, cumin and coriander, then cook for 2 mins more until you smell the spices. Return the lamb to the pan, pour over the tomatoes, bring to the boil, then leave to simmer over a gentle heat for 11⁄2 hrs until the meat is really tender. Top up with a little boiling water if the sauce becomes too dry. Add in the chickpeas and garam masala, then simmer for 5 mins more. Stir through spinach and cook until wilted slightly then season to taste.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil and cook the potatoes until softened, about 15 mins. Drain and mash. Stir through the curry paste and yogurt, and serve alongside the curry.

Steps:

• Put the garlic, ginger, chillies and onion into a small food processor and whizz to a purée adding 1 tbsp water if you need to.
• Heat 1½ tbsp oil in a large flameproof casserole or sauté pan. Brown the lamb all over in two batches, then lift onto a plate and put to one side.
• Add the remaining oil and fry the spices in the same pan for 2 mins, adding a splash of water if they start to catch. Then add the onion purée and cook for 2 mins.
• Add the lamb, tomatoes and stock. Stir, cover and cook for 45 mins.
• Stir in the spinach then cook for another 45 mins or until the lamb is tender. If the sauce is looking thin, take the lid off for the last 20 mins of cooking to reduce it.
• Scatter over the coriander. Serve with naan or rice.

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or similar pot, heat 1/2 cup oil over medium-high. Add the onion, garlic and chile, and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Push the vegetables to one side and add the lamb to the other. Cook until lightly browned on all sides, 3 to 8 minutes total. Add 2 tablespoons kosher salt (or 1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt or fine salt) and 4 cups water, then stir and bring to a gentle boil, skimming any scum that rises to the surface. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook until the lamb is tender, 1 hour and 5 minutes to 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, in a kettle or a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup water to a boil, and keep at a simmer.
• In a very large skillet with a lid, heat the remaining 1/2 cup oil over medium. Add the cilantro and garlic chives, and fry, stirring occasionally, to bring out all the flavors, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl.
• Place the same skillet over medium-high heat (no need to wash), add the chopped spinach and the just-boiled water, and cover partially. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid is gone, about 20 minutes.
• Add the lamb, 1 cup of its cooking liquid (any remaining broth can be refrigerated or frozen for another use) and the cilantro mixture to the spinach. Stir to combine well, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until all the flavors mingle, about 15 minutes. Taste, season with salt if desired and serve with challaw.
