[Meat and Offal]
30g/1oz clarified
butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
675g/1½lb boneless
lamb, preferably shoulder, cut into 4cm/1½in cubes
2 teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon
ground ginger
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1½ teaspoon ground
coriander
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne
pepper
425ml/¾ pint brown
stock
1 tablespoon chopped fresh
parsley
½ tablespoon
chopped fresh mint
-
Melt the butter in a large
saucepan and brown onion in it. Remove to a plate.
-
Put meat into the pan and
brown all over. Add the turmeric, ginger, garlic and coriander. Return
onions to the pan and stir and cook over a low heat for 1 minute.
-
Season with salt and cayenne
and add enough stock to come to 1cm/½in below the top
of the meat. This level should be kept constant. Bring to the boil, cover
and simmer gently for about 1½ hours until the meat is tender, adding more
stock as necessary.

When the lamb is tender remove
it from the pan and keep warm. Reduce the liquid by boiling. Add the parsley
and mint and pour over the lamb.
