Good source of iron

Ingredients

1 kg lean Quality Mark lamb for casseroling
oil
1 large onion, peeled and diced
8 cloves garlic, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 bay leaves
1 small cinnamon stick
8 cardamom pods, crushed
8 whole peppercorns
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
3 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups beef stock
¼ cup plain yoghurt (optional)

Method

Cut the lamb into large 3cm cubes. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large lidded frying pan and brown the meat evenly on all sides. Set aside. This may be best done in 2 batches.

Add the onion, garlic, ginger, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, cardmom pods, cloves and peppercorns to the pan with an extra 2-3 tablespoons oil and cook, stirring, over a moderate heat until the mixture smells very fragrant.

Add the ground spices and salt and cook for 1 minute.

Return the lamb to the pan with the stock. Stir, cover and simmer for 1 hour and then remove the lid and cook for a further 20-30 minutes until the lamb is very tender and the liquid is reduced. Alternatively, cook at 160°C for 1 ½ hours.

Stir in the yoghurt if using.

Serve with the Fresh Banana Relish.

Fresh Banana relish

Dice 2 peeled bananas and toss with 2-3 chopped fresh dates, the grated rind and juice of 2 limes, 2 tablespoons grated palm sugar (or use brown sugar) and chopped mint or coriander.
