- 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.

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.

Season with salt to taste. Serve hot with plain boiled rice.
đĄ Proffstips: Crusty bread is also a great accompaniment for soaking up the delicious sauce.
