Delicious Moroccan Lamb Stew

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs lamb shoulder, cut into chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 4 cups beef or lamb broth
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnishing

Instructions:

  1. In a big pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb chunks and brown them on all sides. Don’t rush this part—the caramelization adds great flavor!
  2. Once the lamb is browned, remove it from the pot and set it aside. In that same pot, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
  3. Sprinkle in the spices: cumin, cinnamon, ginger, paprika, and cayenne. Stir it around for about a minute until the spices are nice and fragrant.
  4. Add the broth, chickpeas, diced tomatoes, and carrots back into the pot. Bring everything to a simmer.
  5. Return the lamb to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and let it cook on low heat for about 1.5 to 2 hours. You want that lamb to be tender and rich in flavor. The longer it simmers, the better it gets!
  6. When ready, serve it hot, garnished with fresh parsley for that pop of color and freshness.
