👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb cubes and brown on all sides. Remove lamb and set aside.

Add chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, ground coriander, cumin, paprika, and turmeric. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Return the browned lamb to the pot. Add water or lamb broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the lamb is tender.
- 5
Add the okra to the stew. If using fresh okra, you can lightly fry it beforehand to reduce sliminess. Stir gently, cover, and simmer for another 20-30 minutes, or until the okra is tender and the sauce has thickened. If using optional pomegranate molasses, stir it in during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, traditionally with vermicelli rice or plain white rice.
