ingredients
- 1 lb lamb, cubes
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground red pepper
- one 14- to 15-oz . can diced tomato
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 4 cups fresh spinach leaves, lightly packed
- 1⁄4 cup plain yogurt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
- salt
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
- Dust the lamb cubes with the flour.
- In a 3 quart nonstick ovenproof pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb and cook until well-browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. This is best done in batches, as if the pieces of meat touch they will not brown properly. Remove meat from pot and set aside.
- Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the spices (turmeric through pepper), then stir in the tomatoes and water and bring to a boil. Return the lamb to the pot. Cover and place in the oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the lamb is soft.
- Remove the pot from the oven and stir in the spinach until it is wilted. Stir in the yogurt, lemon zest, and slat.

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
