Complex and warming spices infuse a lamb or beef stew that is enriched with yogurt and brightened with fresh herbs.
Servings: 4
Calories: 436kcal
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter or butter flavored coconut oil for dairy-free
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 4 garlic cloves peeled and minced
- 6 cardamom pods crushed
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ginger fresh grated
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 pounds lamb should or stewing beef or even chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt full fat, or coconut yogurt or coconut cream for dairy-free
- 2 cups chicken stock
- cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and add the butter, onions, garlic, cardamom, cinnamon, bay leaves, cumin seeds, and fennel seeds, and salt. Cook until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5-10 minutes.
- Add the ginger, tomato paste, paprika, allspice, and pepper. Cook stirring constantly until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add the chicken stock and stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the beef, pressing to ensure it is submerged in liquid. Simmer for 2 hours, or until the meat is tender (chicken takes about an hour).
- Remove the meat from the stew base and set aside. Remove and discard the bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, and cardamom pods. Return the stew base to a rapid boil and reduce the volume by half, about 15 minutes. Stir in yogurt then add back the beef. Serve with cilantro, if desired.
Notes
To make this even easier, use a Rogan Josh spice blend. Use 4 tablespoons and add this with the tomato paste. If using the spice blend, omit the cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks, paprika, allspice, and pepper.
