Morrocan Lamb

This one beats the traditional Indian Curries fair and square. Mitra, my wife, who is not a big fan of meat was licking her fingers after having the lamb.

Ingredients:

500 gms lamb steaks cut into cubes

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1 large onion finely chopped 

4 cloves of garlic finely chopped

2 tsp of coriander powder

2 tsp of cumin powder

2 tsp of red chili powder

1 tsp of turmeric powder

1 tsp of cinnamon powder

2 cups chicken stock

100 gms of pitted dates

Preparation time: 20 mins

cooking time: 30 mins

Add oil into a pressure cooker. Once hot, add the onion and garlic, fry until soft. Add the lamb to the pressure cooker and cook for 5 mins. Add the spices to the lamb and cook for further 5 mins on medium heat. Add the chicken stock and pitted dates. Fit the lid on the pressure cooker and cook for 25 mins under medium heat. Remove the lid of the pressure cooker and further cook the lamb until the curry becomes thick. Serve with couscous.
