Recipes & Healthy Food Habits

The other day when I was feeling notably depressed over getting an overall grade of D in Statistics, I decided to cook something new.  And so, I will post it here.  Delicious.......

LAMB STEW

http://southernfood.about.com/od/lambstewrecipes/r/bl60714c.htm

1 1/2 to 2 pounds of boneless lamb shoulder or stewing lamb
salt and pepper
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
dash of coarsely ground pepper
1 medium carrot, diced
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes with juice
1 cup chicken broth
juice of 1/2 lemon

Trim fat from lamb; cut into bite-size pieces.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper then toss with the flour.

In a dutch over or large saucepan heat 1 tbsp olive oil.  Add the floured lamb pieces and the chopped onion; cook until lamb is browned on all sides, stirring frequently.  Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour until lamb is tender.  Serve over hot cooked rice, grits or polenta, or cous cous, or serve with hot buttered noodles or potatoes.
