Lamb and Vegetable Stew with Gluten-Free Flatbread

Ingredients

• 2 lbs Lamb shoulder
• 2 medium Carrots
• 2 medium Potatoes
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Onion
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 inch Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Baharat spice blend
• 1 stick Cinnamon stick
• 4 cups Lamb broth
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Gluten-free flatbread

Instructions

1. 1Cut the 2 lbs of lamb shoulder into 1-inch cubes.
2. 2Heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
3. 3Add the 1-inch lamb cubes to the hot pot in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Brown the lamb on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side, until a nice brown crust forms. Remove the browned lamb from the pot and set it aside on a plate.
4. 4Add the 1 large chopped onion to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the onion is softened and translucent. Add the 4 minced cloves of garlic and the 1 inch of grated ginger to the pot and cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
5. 5Stir in the 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and the 2 tablespoons of baharat spice blend. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the tomato paste darkens slightly and the spices are fragrant.
6. 6Return the browned 1-inch lamb cubes to the pot. Add the 2 peeled and chopped medium carrots, the 2 peeled and chopped medium potatoes, and the 1 peeled and chopped medium zucchini. Pour in the 4 cups of lamb broth and add the 1 cinnamon stick. Stir everything together.
7. 7Bring the stew to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for 1.5 hours, or until the lamb is very tender when pierced with a fork. Stir the stew occasionally to prevent sticking.
8. 8Remove the cinnamon stick from the pot. Taste the stew and season with the 1 teaspoon of salt and the 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper as needed. Stir well.
9. 9Serve the lamb and vegetable stew hot, accompanied by the 4 pieces of gluten-free flatbread.
