Best Curried Lamb And Potatoes Recipes

WEST INDIAN LAMB CURRY

Steps:

• Pat lamb dry with paper towels and place in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon curry powder, the salt, the ground ginger and the black pepper. Add spice mix to large bowl and toss with lamb.
• Combine onion, scallion, garlic, fresh ginger, allspice, thyme leaves and 2 tablespoons oil in a blender; purée until smooth. Scrape mixture over lamb and toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Stir in 2 teaspoons curry powder and heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, brown the meat on all sides. Drizzle in additional oil, if needed, to prevent meat from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Transfer browned meat to a plate as it browns.
• Once all the meat has been browned, return it to the pot, along with any juices on the plate. Add enough water to just cover meat. Bring liquid to a simmer, covered, then uncover the pot and cook gently for 45 minutes.
• Stir potato, carrot and pepper into pot. Simmer until vegetables are fork tender and meat is cooked through, about 30 to 45 minutes longer.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer meat and vegetables to a bowl. Simmer cooking liquid until it has reduced and thickened to a saucy consistency (to taste), about 15 minutes. Taste sauce and add more salt if needed. Pour sauce over meat. Serve over rice, topped with a squeeze of lime, a dollop of mango chutney or pickle and fresh cilantro.

EASY INDIAN CURRIED LAMB

Steps:

• Heat canola oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, garlic, and cumin seeds in the hot oil until onion is browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Add lamb, tomato paste, coriander, salt, garam masala, turmeric, and red chile powder; stir to coat. Cover saucepan and simmer until meat is tender and no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour.

CURRY LAMB SHANKS WITH POTATOES

Steps:

• Season the lamb on all sides with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven on medium-high heat add the olive oil. When the oil begins to swirl, add the shanks and sear until golden on all sides. Remove the shanks to a plate and add the butter, curry powder, allspice, and paprika. Stir with a wooden spoon until fragrant and the spices darken, about 2 minutes.
• Add the onions, bell pepper, garlic, thyme, scotch bonnet, and then season with salt and pepper. Allow the vegetables to become tender and golden with the spices, about 5 minutes. Stir everything together then add the shanks back to the pot. Add the chicken stock, cover and bring to a simmer.
• Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is fork tender, about 2 hours. Taste and season if needed, then add the potatoes and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 30 minutes more. If making the day before, refrigerate and remove the film of fat from the top before reheating.
• Serve the lamb shanks over Right Rice, recipe follows and garnish with chopped cilantro.
• Rinse the rice 3 times to remove the starch. Put the rice in a medium saucepan and fill with enough water to cover the rice by 1/2-inch or measure by placing your thumb tip on the rice and filling the pot with water until the water reaches the middle of your thumbnail. Bring the rice to a simmer, cover and cook until tender and the liquid is evaporated, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the rice stand another 5 minutes, covered.

CURRY OF LAMB BREAST AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Remove most of the visible fat from the top of the lamb breasts, leaving the fell, or pink skin, on top. Cut each breast between the ribs. (You should have 12 pieces.)
• Place the ribs in one layer in a large Dutch-oven-type pot or kettle and cook them, covered, over medium heat for about 20 minutes, turning the pieces occasionally, until they are well browned and crisp and most of the fat has melted from them.
• Transfer the ribs to a plate and discard the rendered fat. Place the lamb pieces back in the pot with the onions and saute for 1 minute. Add the curry powder, chili powder, tomato paste, apples and salt. Mix well, and add 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and boil gently for 30 minutes.
• Add the potatoes to the pot, and cook for another 30 minutes.
• Serve immediately, or cool and refrigerate.

SLOW COOKER LAMB CURRY WITH CAULIFLOWER, PEAS, AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Place lamb shanks, culinary stock, coconut milk, tomatoes, curry powder, red pepper, and salt together in the bottom of a slow cooker. Cook on High until lamb is tender and juices run clear when pierced with a knife, about 3 hours.
• Skim the fat off of the top of the mixture. Mix in cauliflower, potatoes, and peas. Switch to Low and cook until vegetables are tender, about 3 hours more. Remove lamb meat from bones. Return meat to the slow cooker; discard bones.
