Lamb Stew

Couscous

Method

Lamb Stew Preparation

  1. 1

    Sear the Lamb

    In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb pieces and sear them until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the lamb and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3 minutes, allowing the spices to bloom.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Stew

    Return the browned lamb to the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours until the lamb is tender.

  5. 5

    Finish and Garnish

    Once the lamb is cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Couscous Preparation

    Boil Water

    In a separate saucepan, bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil. Add 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

  2. 7

    Cook Couscous

    Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and stir in 1 cup of couscous. Cover the saucepan and let it sit for 5 minutes.

  3. 8

    Fluff Couscous

    After 5 minutes, uncover and fluff the couscous with a fork. It should be light and fluffy.
