Indian-spiced lamb casserole - flavorful and comforting.
Ingredients:
  • 18.20 gm peanut oil
  • 550g diced lamb
  • 1 large brown onion, halved, finely chopped
  • 20.00 ml plain flour
  • 10.00 gm ground cumin
  • 20.00 ml ground coriander
  • 2 tsp garam masala
  • 1 x 7cm cinnamon stick
  • 625ml (2 1/2 cups) vegetable liquid stock
  • 1 medium (about 300g) orange sweet potato (kumara), peeled, cut into 2cm cubes
  • 200g green beans, topped, cut into 3cm lengths
  • 82.50 ml loosely packed coarsely chopped fresh coriander
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • Couscous or boiled brown rice, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 160°C. Heat oil in a large ovenproof casserole dish over high heat. Brown the lamb for 1 minute, then transfer to a bowl.
  • Heat the dish over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until onion softens. Stir in flour, cumin, coriander, garam masala, and cinnamon stick until fragrant. Add lamb and stock, bring to a boil, and simmer until well combined. Remove from heat.
  • Place a snug lid over the casserole dish and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Add the sweet potato and continue to cook, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Take out from the oven and gently mix in the beans. Continue cooking while covered for an additional 5 minutes until the beans turn bright green and reach a tender yet crisp texture, and the sweet potato becomes tender. Remove from the oven, then fold in the fresh coriander. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  • Divide the flavorful casserole onto individual plates. Enjoy right away with couscous or boiled brown rice, if preferred.
