Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 3 ½ pounds cubed lamb stew meat

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

  • 2 large onions, chopped

  • 1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and cubed

  • 1 cup chicken stock

  • ½ cup raisins

  • 3 tablespoons curry powder

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

  1. Place flour in a resealable plastic bag; season with salt and black pepper. Add lamb to bag; shake until evenly coated with flour.

  2. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add lamb in batches; cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch. Set aside.

  3. Reduce heat to medium; add remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Stir in onions; cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in apple, chicken stock, raisins, brown sugar, curry powder, and browned lamb; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until lamb is very tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Stir in lemon juice; cook 2 minutes before serving.
