Yield Makes 4 or 5 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
1 lb boneless lamb shoulder or beef chuck, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 whole cloves
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup yellow split peas (1 1/2 oz)
1 large russet (baking) potato
2 to 2 1/2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Heat butter in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook meat, onion, salt, pepper, and spices, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until meat is no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Add lime juice and water and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes.
  • Add split peas and simmer, covered, until peas are falling apart and meat is tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Keep warm, partially covered.
  • Peel potato and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Heat 1/2 inch oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry potato in 2 batches, stirring occasionally, until crisp and golden brown, about 7 minutes. Transfer potato with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and season with salt.
  • Fold fried potato into stew just before serving, or serve it on top.

This stew was good, but not great. The lamb was a bit tough and the flavor was a bit bland. I think I would have liked it more if I had used more spices.

This stew is so easy to make and it's absolutely delicious. I love that it's a one-pot meal, so there's less cleanup involved. I've already made it twice and I'm sure I'll be making it again and again.
