Curried Lamb And Yam Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Rice

   Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

2. 2

   Brown the Lamb

   In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Cut the lamb shoulder into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. Add the lamb to the pot and brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté Aromatics

   In the same pot, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the onion is translucent.

4. 4

   Add Curry Powder

   Stir in the Jamaican curry powder and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

5. 5

   Combine Ingredients

   Return the browned lamb to the pot, along with the diced yam, coconut milk, and chicken broth. Stir well to combine.

6. 6

   Simmer the Curry

   Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the lamb is tender and the yam is soft. Stir occasionally and add more broth if needed.

7. 7

   Serve

   Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve the curried lamb and yam over a bed of jasmine rice, garnished with sliced scallions.
