Cooking Recipe Afghani Lamb With Spinach
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
*Roasted at 350 F. for about 3 minutes.
Sear lamb in the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven. Add
the onions; saute them for 2 minutes; then add the garlic and saute
it for 1 minute. Put in the turmeric, nutmeg, cardamom, crushed red
pepper and cinnamon and saute 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.
Cover the dish and bake at 350 F. for about 1 hour, until the meat is
tender and begins to break up. 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.
