My interpretation of a Moroccan classic I made this up to satisfy a craving, and to use a bottle of sour cherries I didn't know what to do with You can easily modify this recipe to include another meat, or take out the meat and make it vegetarian, with more vegetables and potatoes
Ingredients:
1 lb lamb
1 small white onion
1/2 green pepper
1 red pepper
4 small carrots
1 ounce fresh ginger, grated
ground cinnamon
cumin
ginger
coriander
pepper
salt
bottled sour cherry, drained
honey
16 ounces tomatoes
vinegar
vegetable stock, to cover
bay leaf
chopped fresh parsley
chopped fresh cilantro
Directions:
1. Cube lamb and brown in olive oil.
2. Remove and add onion and peppers to the same pot.
3. Saute until fragrant, then add carrots.
4. Saute a bit longer, then first add ginger and spices and then cherries, honey, tomatoes, bay leaves and vinegar.
5. If the meat and veg aren’t covered add stock til they are, but only just.
6. Bring to a boil on the stovetop, then move to the oven and cook, covered, until meat is tender (30-45 min.).
7. Stir in parsley and cilantro before serving.
