👨🍳 Инструкции
- 1
Pat the lamb cubes dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove the browned lamb and set aside.
- 3
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onions to the pot and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the sweet paprika, dried mint, and ground cumin. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- 5
Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring.
- 6
Return the browned lamb to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and red wine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- 7
Add the halved dried apricots. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and simmer gently for at least 2 hours, or until the lamb is very tender. Stir occasionally, adding a little more broth or water if the stew becomes too dry.
- 8
Once the lamb is tender, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. If the sauce is too thin, you can simmer uncovered for the last 15-20 minutes to reduce it.
- 9
Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley. This stew is excellent served with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
