👨‍🍳 조리법

1
In a large bowl, combine the lamb cubes with sliced onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped scotch bonnet peppers, mustard, cider vinegar, lime juice, all-purpose seasoning, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to ensure the lamb is thoroughly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
2
Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Remove the lamb from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and sear it in batches until nicely browned on all sides. Remove the lamb and set aside.
3
Add the reserved marinade (including the onions and peppers) to the same pot. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for about 2-3 minutes until it darkens slightly.
4
Return the seared lamb to the pot. Add the carrots, potatoes, and crumbled seasoning cubes. Pour in the water, ensuring the liquid covers about two-thirds of the meat and vegetables. Bring to a boil.
5
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and let the stew simmer gently for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the lamb is very tender and the vegetables are cooked through. Stir occasionally and add more water if the stew becomes too dry.
6
Season with salt to taste. Serve hot with plain boiled rice.
💡 전문가 팁: Crusty bread is also a great accompaniment for soaking up the delicious sauce.
