👨🍳 Fremgangsmåte
- 1
Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F).
💡 Profesjonelle tips: This low and slow cooking method ensures tender lamb. - 2
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove lamb and set aside.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. - 3
Add chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic, ground ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and chili flakes. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

Return the browned lamb to the pot. Pour in the beef or lamb stock, ensuring the liquid almost covers the meat. Bring to a simmer.

Stir in the halved dried apricots and honey. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Stir in the sorghum flour until well combined. Add the diced potatoes.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: This will help thicken the stew. - 7
Cover the pot tightly with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the lamb is very tender and falling apart.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Adjust honey and chili flakes to your preferred sweetness and spice level. - 8
Remove from oven. Skim off any excess fat from the surface. If the sauce is too thin, simmer on the stovetop for a few minutes to reduce it.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: A slotted spoon is useful for skimming fat. - 9
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley. Traditionally served with pap (maize meal porridge) or rice.
💡 Profesjonelle tips
- ✓For a richer flavor, marinate the lamb in the spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- ✓If you don't have a Dutch oven, a heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid will work.
- ✓Adjust the amount of chili flakes to control the heat level.
