Easter Meal

Happy Easter everyone. Here's my recipe for Easter lunch or dinner, which we just had now.

Ingredients

1 pound of lamb, cubed

2 carrots, diced

1 small onion, diced

1 bell pepper, diced

1 cup of white wine

4 cups of chicken stock

2 tablespoons of ketchup

2 teaspoons of salt

1 cup of flour

½ teaspoon of paprika

½ teaspoon of cumin

½ teaspoon of ground coriander

½ teaspoon of garlic powder

3 dried bay leaves

2 teaspoons of olive oil

Heat half the oil in a pot and sauté the vegetables until tender. Remove the vegetables and heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Combine the flour, paprika, cumin, coriander and garlic powder in a shallow dish. Dredge the lamb cubes in the flour mixture. Add the lamb to the pot and brown in the oil on all sides for a couple of minutes. You might have to do this in two batches to ensure the meat browns and doesn’t steam. Add the wine to the meat and scrape all the brown bits off the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. These will give the stew good flavor. Add the vegetables back to the pot along with the chicken stock, ketchup, bay leaves and salt. Bring the stew to a boil, then lower the heat, cover with a lid and simmer slowly for roughly two hours. Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

I served it with mashed potatoes and glazed carrots.
