Lamb With Potatoes And Peas Recipes

Steps:

• Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Add the lamb in a single layer and brown, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. Reduce the heat to medium high and add the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the pot along with the cardamom pods, cinnamon stick and clove. Cook, stirring, until the whole spices are toasted, about 20 seconds.
• Add the onions, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the coriander, cumin, chili powder and turmeric; cook, stirring and scraping the pan, until the ground spices are toasted, about 30 seconds.
• Add the tomatoes to the pot and cook, stirring, until they break down, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the lamb and any juices from the plate. Stir in 1 3/4 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and simmer until the lamb is almost cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Tuck the potatoes among the lamb pieces, submerging them in the liquid; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes. Uncover and simmer, turning the potatoes occasionally, until the curry is thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the peas and heat through.
• Remove the curry from the heat and stir in the yogurt. Thin with water, if necessary; season with salt. Serve with rice and top with mint.

Steps:

• Put the shanks, onions, garlic, spices, and a little salt into a large pot. Add water to barely cover, about 4 cups (1 liter) and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 30 minutes. Turn the shanks over in the sauce and cook for another 15 minutes. Turn the meat again and cook for another 15 minutes, or until the meat is tender. If the shanks are not tender after an hour, cook for 15 to 30 minutes longer, adding a little more water.
• When the meat is tender, add the herbs (reserving a little cilantro for garnish) and potatoes and cook for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are just done. Add the peas and cook uncovered for another few minutes, until the peas are cooked. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the sauce is still runny, let it bubble hard uncovered until the sauce has thickened.
• Transfer meat and vegetables to a serving dish. Garnish with the reserved cilantro and serve very hot with Moroccan bread.

Steps:

• Cook lamb and onion over medium-high heat until meat is browned and onion is soft.
• Drain fat.
• Stir in spices, seasonings, potatoes and water.
• Cover and simmer until potatoes are soft, about 30 minutes.
• Stir occasionally to break up potato.
• Add peas and tomato and simmer for another 5 minutes.
• Serve 1 cup of lamb mixture over 1/2 cup rice.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Toss the potatoes and garlic with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a microwave-safe dish. Spread in as even a layer as possible. Add the lemon juice and chicken broth, cover with plastic wrap and microwave 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the potatoes and liquid to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Roast in the oven, uncovered, until the potatoes are light golden and much of the liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season the lamb chops with salt, pepper and the oregano. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil with 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in 2 batches, add the lamb chops and cook, basting occasionally with a large spoon, about 4 minutes per side for medium doneness. Transfer the lamb chops to a plate to rest; tent with foil.
• Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in another large skillet over medium heat and add the peas. Cook until heated through, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper and stir in the mint.
• Divide the lamb chops, potatoes and peas among plates. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a wide pan or casserole. Put in the onion, garlic, ginger, saffron, and meat. Cook on low heat for about 5 minutes, turning over the meat. Cover with water, season with salt and pepper and cook, covered, over low heat, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the meat is very tender, turning the pieces over once in a while.
• Add the potatoes, cutting any large ones in half. Top up the water, if necessary, and cook 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Then add the peas, preserved lemon peel cut into thin strips, if using, olives, coriander, and parsley, and cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes longer, or until the peas are tender and the sauce reduced and thick.
