Best Moroccan Lamb Sweet Potato Stew Recipes

MAKE-AHEAD MOROCCAN LAMB STEW

Make-Ahead Moroccan Lamb Stew image

Inspired by the wonderful spices and flavors used in Moroccan cuisine, this wonderful stew is a hearty one-dish meal. We like to double the recipe and freeze one portion for later. You can also save time, by combining all of these Moroccan spices in bulk and having the mixture on hand to use in this stew recipe, as well as others, like lamb burgers, grilled salmon, and meat rubs. We typically serve the stew with warm bread and a salad.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
⅛ teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound ground lamb
1 tablespoon butter
1 sweet onion, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can organic beef broth
1 (14.5 ounce) can organic chicken broth
2 (14.5 ounce) cans beef consomme
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 tablespoon honey
3 large carrots, chopped

½ cup chopped dried apricots

Steps:

Combine cinnamon, cumin, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, turmeric, curry powder, and salt in a large bowl. Mix in the ground lamb. For most flavorful results, allow mixture to rest, refrigerated, overnight.
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the onion in the butter until soft and just beginning to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix the spiced lamb mixture to the onions. Cook and stir until meat is browned, about 5 minutes.
Pour the beef broth, chicken broth, and consomme into the pot. Stir in the tomatoes, honey, carrots, sweet potatoes, garbanzo beans, dried apricots and lentils. Bring to boil; reduce heat to low.
Simmer stew for 30 minutes or until the vegetables and lentils are cooked and tender. Season with black pepper to taste.

Ingredients

Private Reserve Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 carrots, cubed
6 Yukon gold potatoes (or any small potatoes), peeled, cubed
Kosher salt and pepper
2.5 lb boneless leg of American lamb, fat trimmed, cut into cubes (Or American lamb shoulder, bones removed, fat-trimmed)
3 large garlic cloves, roughly chopped
½ cup dried apricots
1 cinnamon stick
1 bay leaf
1 ½ tsp ground allspice
1 1/2 tsp ras el hanout Moroccan spice blend (find it here)
½ tsp ground ginger
6 plum tomatoes from a can, cut in halves
2 ½ cups low-sodium beef broth
1 15-oz can chickpeas

Steps:

In a large Dutch oven (affiliate) or heavy oven-safe pot, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
In the heated oil, saute the onions, carrots, and potatoes for 4 minutes or so. Add the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the pot and set aside briefly.
In the same pot, add more oil if needed, and deeply brown the lamb on all sides. Season with salt and pepper.
Turn heat to medium-high and return the sauteed vegetables to the pot. Add the dried apricots, cinnamon stick, bay leaf and spices and stir to coat.
Add the plum tomatoes and broth and bring everything to a boil for 5 minutes or so.
Cover the pot and place in the 350 degrees F heated-oven for 1 ½ hours (check partway through to add water or broth if needed). Now stir in the chickpeas, cover and return to the oven for another 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve hot with your choice of Lebanese rice, couscous, pita bread or your favorite rustic bread.
A simple Mediterranean salad like Fattoush makes a great starter for this hearty meal. Enjoy!
