The peanut flavor is way off in the background, don't let it scare you. The first time I prepared this, I was put off by the seemingly large portion of onions, the seemingly dry sauce, the heavy peanut smell. Worry not! As the onions cook down, they ... More

Ingredients
  • 2 Tblspns peanut oil
  • 1 pound boneless lamb shoulder cut into one inch cubes
  • 4 small to medium onions, halved, then cut each half into three wedges
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • --------
  • 2-1/2 teaspns ground ginger
  • 2 teaspns ground coriander
  • 1 teaspn ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspn salt
  • 1/4 teaspn cayenne, less to taste (I use 1/8)
  • 1/8 teaspn ground cloves
  • --------
  • 1/4 Cup dry vermouth (dry white wine or water in a pinch)
  • 6 oz. plain yogurt
  • 1/4 Cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 Cup golden raisins (dark raisins are far better than none)

Directions
  1. Heat the oil medium-high, in a large pan or dutch oven (will need cover). Add lamb and cook until browned on all sides, usually about 4 minutes.
  2. While the lamb is cooking measure the 6 dry spices into a small bowl, set aside.
  3. Transfer the lamb to a plate, set aside. Add onions to the pan, saute until lightly browned, knocking the layers apart as you turn, usually about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic, stir continually about 15 seconds.
  5. Toss in the 6 dry spices, stir continually until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
  6. Pour in the vermouth and scrap it around, de-glazing the goodies from the pan bottom.
  7. Add the rest: meat, yogurt, peanut butter, and raisins, stirring until well mixed.
  8. Cover and reduce heat to a low simmer. Stir often and keep it low, just boiling, to prevent scorching. If it looks dry, add 2 Tblspns of water, but remember, the onions will add liquid as they cook down. Simmer about 40 minutes or until meat feels tender when poked.
  9. Set off the heat for 5 minutes covered, then serve immediately.

Sounds great and I even have some lamb in the freezer! Will have to try this soon!


This sounds delicious- is going straight into my recipe box!


Oh that sounds like a curry I could love - and we just picked up some lamb at Costco today...I think this may have to be the next recipe to try with it. We like to grill it, but this sounds like a nice change of pace - and I LOVE peanut butter in curries. Thanks, CCO!

I've not tried it, but I think chicken would be yummy as a substitution for the lamb challenged foodie.
