Lamb Curry with Peas image

Thick Yukon Gold potatoes and frozen peas add some additional texture, while a half cup of whole-milk yogurt adds a refreshing creaminess. Recipe developed by Food Network Kitchen.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 pounds lamb stew meat
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 green cardamom pods
1 1-inch piece cinnamon stick
1 whole clove
2 onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
4 cloves garlic, grated
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon Kashmiri chili powder or hot paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
3 small plum tomatoes, diced
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
Cooked basmati rice, for serving
Chopped fresh mint, for topping

Steps:

  • Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Add the lamb in a single layer and brown, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. Reduce the heat to medium high and add the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the pot along with the cardamom pods, cinnamon stick and clove. Cook, stirring, until the whole spices are toasted, about 20 seconds.
  • Add the onions, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the coriander, cumin, chili powder and turmeric; cook, stirring and scraping the pan, until the ground spices are toasted, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the tomatoes to the pot and cook, stirring, until they break down, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the lamb and any juices from the plate. Stir in 1 3/4 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and simmer until the lamb is almost cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, 1 hour 15 minutes.
  • Tuck the potatoes among the lamb pieces, submerging them in the liquid; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes. Uncover and simmer, turning the potatoes occasionally, until the curry is thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the peas and heat through.
  • Remove the curry from the heat and stir in the yogurt. Thin with water, if necessary; season with salt. Serve with rice and top with mint.

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Kosher salt
1 pound orecchiette pasta
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
1 pound lamb sausage or sweet Italian sausage, casing removed
1 cup frozen peas, thawed

2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the garlic and sweat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it apart with the back of a spoon, until cooked through and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Add the peas, asparagus and tomatoes and toss well to coat. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add 1/2 cup pasta water and simmer for 3 minutes. Add the pasta to the sauce and sprinkle 1 1/2 cups Parmesan on the bare pasta. Toss it with the sauce, adding the remaining 1/2 cup pasta water as needed to create a light tomato sauce. Stir in the thyme. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.

SPRING PASTA BOLOGNESE WITH LAMB AND PEAS



Spring Pasta Bolognese With Lamb and Peas image

This recipe is inspired by springtime and Bolognese bianco, or white Bolognese, a hearty Italian meat sauce made without tomato. It calls for ground lamb, but you can also use beef, pork or veal. The addition of cream to the simmering broth helps tenderize the lamb, and gives the sauce body. Incorporating starchy pasta water, then stirring it vigorously, creates a glossy, thick coating. Spinach, peas and lemon provide fresh, bright notes that balance the rich Bolognese. If fresh peas are available, cook them in the sauce for a few minutes before stirring in the spinach.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1 cup finely chopped carrot
6 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
1 pound ground lamb (or ground beef, pork or veal)
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 large fresh rosemary sprig
1 pound spaghetti
1 cup thawed frozen peas (about 5 ounces)
5 ounces fresh baby spinach
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (about 2 ounces), plus more for garnish
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium. Add onion and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add lamb, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Stir in broth, heavy cream and rosemary, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer, partly covered and stirring occasionally, until mixture is thickened, about 30 minutes. (The sauce may look broken at first, but it will emulsify as it cooks.) Discard the rosemary sprig.
  • As the sauce cooks, make the pasta: Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water and drain the pasta.
  • Over medium heat, add the peas and spinach to the sauce and stir until spinach is wilted. Add the cooked pasta, butter and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta cooking water to the sauce. Toss vigorously until sauce is thickened and coats the pasta, about 2 minutes, adding more pasta water if a looser sauce is desired. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, cheese and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide pasta among bowls. Garnish with more cheese, parsley and black pepper.

LAMB STEW WITH TOMATOES, CHICKPEAS AND SPICES



Lamb Stew With Tomatoes, Chickpeas and Spices image

North African spices with a basic meat stew recipe from Cook's Illustrated The Best Recipe (aka The Kitchen Bible). I made this for a holiday party to break in my new cast iron dutch oven and everyone loved it. I needed a hotter oven after 2 hours and the lamb wasn't tender yet, but I moved it to the stovetop (covered) and simmered it for another 40 minutes or so and it became wonderfully tender, yet not stringy or dry. I got nothing but raves (and very few leftovers!) on this one! Notes: I used 1.5 cans each of diced tomatoes and chick peas. I browned the lamb in three batches instead of two to keep from overcrowding my 5 qt. dutch oven. Kept warm all afternoon by simmering on the stove on low. I used fresh ginger (about 1 Tbl) and no parsley or cilantro. Could have probably used a bit of salt at the end.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds lamb stew meat, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 large garlic cloves, flattened
2 fresh rosemary sprigs or 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 28-ounce can Italian-style tomatoes, drained, crushed
1 10-ounce package frozen petit peas

Steps:

Cover; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until lamb pieces are tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Add peas and simmer uncovered until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Serve with rice.

Tips:

  • For the most flavorful lamb, choose a shoulder or leg cut.
  • Brown the lamb in a hot pan before adding the other ingredients. This will help to develop a rich, caramelized flavor.
  • Use a variety of spices to flavor the lamb. Some good options include cumin, coriander, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Add vegetables to the pot along with the lamb. This will help to create a more balanced and nutritious meal.
  • Simmer the lamb for at least an hour, or until it is fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Serve the lamb with rice, potatoes, or bread.

Lamb with peas and tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The lamb is tender and flavorful, and the peas and tomatoes add a pop of color and freshness. This dish is also a great way to get your daily dose of protein and vegetables.
