Title: Lamb Ragout Flavored with Pomegranate Juice
Categories: Lamb Ceideburg
Yield: 6 Servings
2 | lb | Lean boneless lamb, cut in 1-ounce chunks |
1 | tb | Oil |
1 | lg | Onion, chopped |
1 | ts | Turmeric |
1/2 | ts | Pepper |
Salt | ||
1 | tb | Flour |
1/2 | c | Ground or pulverized walnuts |
1 | c | Pomegranate juice (available in fancy food shops) |
1 | ts | Ground cardamom |
Juice of 1 lemon |
Without adding fat, brown the lamb chunks in a heavy Dutch oven. Heat the oil in a separate pan and saute the onion in it until it is brown, then transfer to the Dutch oven. Sprinkle the turmeric, pepper and salt over the meat and stir for 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour and stir until it is absorbed. Add the walnuts, pomegranate juice and enough water to almost cover the meat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot and cook until the meat is tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Add the cardamom. Squeeze in the lemon juice to taste and adjust the salt. Keep warm until ready to serve.
Serves 6.
