👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the ghee or oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb pieces and sear them on all sides until browned. Remove the lamb and set aside.
- 2
In the same pot, add the chopped onions and sauté until they are golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, fenugreek seeds, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spices are aromatic.
- 4
Add the crushed tomatoes, cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, cloves, and bay leaf to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld.
- 5
Return the browned lamb to the pot. Pour in the water or lamb broth, ensuring the lamb is mostly submerged. Bring the stew to a boil.
- 6
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for at least 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is very tender and falling off the bone. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 7
Once the lamb is tender, remove the lid and let the stew simmer uncovered for the last 15-20 minutes to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency. Remove whole spices before serving.
- 8
Adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish generously with fresh chopped cilantro and serve hot, typically with rice or Yemeni flatbread like Lahoh.
