Ingredients

2 1/2 lb lamb stew meat, preferably leg

1/3 c olive oil

3/4 lb onions, diced large

4 tsp chopped garlic

2 tsp turmeric

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp ground cardamom

1 tsp crushed red pepper, or to taste

1/2 tsp cinnamon

32 oz can tomatoes drain and chopped

1 c rich brown veal stock or beef stock

1/3 lb fresh spinach, washed and drained

1/2 c yogurt

1 tbsp grated lemon peel

Salt, to taste

1/4 c pine nuts, roasted at 350 F for about 3 minutes

Directions

1) Sear lamb in the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven.

2) Add the onions, sauté them for 2 minutes; then add the garlic and sauté it for 1 minute.

3) Put in the turmeric, nutmeg, cardamom, crushed red pepper and cinnamon and sauté the mixture for 1 to 2 minutes more, being careful not to burn the onions or garlic. Add the tomatoes and veal stock and stir.

4) Cover the dish and bake at 350 F. for about 1 hour, until the meat is tender and begins to break up.

5) Remove the dish from the oven and add the spinach, stirring until the spinach is wilted and blended in. Allow the stew to cool slightly. Add the yogurt, lemon peel and salt to taste. Sprinkle with roasted pine nuts.

This sounds absolutely divine. Thanks loads for posting this scrumdidiliumptious recipe up! I'm going to be eating like a queen this weekend :)

PS--Do you think this would hold together well in a slow cooker without the spices overpowering it?

This dish is making my whole apartment smell amazing!!

EDIT: It was great! I added about half a cup of golden raisins and cooked mine in a slow cooker, adding the spinach, lemon, and yogurt at the end as the recipe calls for. I also used sunflower seeds rather than pine nuts, just because that's what I had on hand. A very delicious meal I'd recommend to anyone!

I can imagine how the aroma's would entice and that alone deserves 5 forks. I have eaten lamb prepared this way but I have never prepared the dish myself. Absolutely DELICIOUS! Thank you for sharing an excellent recipe.
