Steps:
- Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the lamb and cook, breaking up with a fork, until well browned, 5 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Transfer meat to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add the onion and poblano peppers. Cook until the vegetables are softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Finely chop 2 tablespoons of the cilantro stems and add to the pot. Stir in the garlic and jalapeño and cook 2 minutes. Add the chile powder, coriander and cumin, and cook 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until it begins to turn brown.
- Return the lamb to the pot. Stir in 4 cups water, the beans and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Simmer over medium-low heat for 45 minutes; add more water if the chili becomes too thick. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Ladle into bowls, and top with a dollop of yogurt and a squeeze of lime. Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves.

A tasty variation on the usual beef chili, this is a definite crowd pleaser! I make it in big batches and freeze, it freezes very well. Leftovers seem to taste even better the next day.

This chili really isn't that spicy, but it is good. We really like lamb and I was looking for some different ways to prepare it. Found this recipe on www.americanlamb.com and have adapted it to fit my allergies. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

ROSEMARY LAMB CHILI (CROCK POT)
I don't eat red meat as a rule, but lamb is one thing I make an exception for once or twice a year. This mild chili could also be made on the stove top, but I like to make all my chili and most of my soups in a crock pot and let it simmer. Do it whatever way you prefer.

Steps:
- Rinse lamb chops and pat dry. Set aside.
- Whisk lemon juice, white wine, brown sugar, parsley, mint, vinegar, chili powder, chipotle powder, garlic, Worcestershire, liquid smoke, salt, and black pepper together in a large mixing bowl to emulsify. Add lamb chops. Marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Cook lamb chops on the preheated grill until browned and only slightly pink in the centers, brushing with marinade frequently, about 6 minutes per side. Stand chops upright for the final turn, which heats the bone and cooks the meat internally. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Rest lamb chops for about 3 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of lamb: Lamb shoulder or leg is best for sekuwa. These cuts are tough but have a lot of flavor. If you're using a leaner cut of lamb, you may need to add some fat to the pan.
- Marinate the lamb: Marinating the lamb in a mixture of spices and herbs will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a store-bought marinade or make your own. Be sure to let the lamb marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Cook the lamb over high heat: Sekuwa is traditionally cooked over an open fire, but you can also cook it in a hot skillet or on a grill. The high heat will help to sear the meat and lock in the flavor.
- Don't overcook the lamb: Lamb is best when it is cooked medium-rare to medium. Overcooked lamb will be tough and dry.
- Serve the sekuwa with your favorite sides: Sekuwa is traditionally served with rice, salad, and a spicy sauce. You can also serve it with naan bread, pita bread, or tortillas.
Conclusion:
Sekuwa is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you are a fan of lamb or just looking for something new to try, sekuwa is a great option. So next time you are looking for a flavorful and easy-to-make dish, give sekuwa a try.
