Ingredients

  • 1 pound lamb stew meat
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 red pepper, chopped finely
  • 1 small onion, chopped finely
  • 2 serrano peppers, chopped, optional
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar, or rice vinegar
  • cilantro, to garnish

Spice Mix

Instructions 

  • First, add lamb meat and olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until browned.
  • Once browned, remove lamb to a plate.
  • Add onion, red pepper, serrano peppers, and minced garlic to the pan.
  • Cook for 5 minutes or until onion is softened.
  • Then, add all spice mix ingredients to a small bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Add tomato paste, chicken broth, vinegar and spice mix to the skillet. Add lamb back in.
  • Next, bring to a light boil. Lightly boil for 15 to 20 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Lamb is considered done when it is 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Remove from heat. Ladle into bowls and garnish with cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • Chop onions and peppers finely.
  • Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in the microwave or in a skillet.  Add a little broth to the pan if needed.
  • Lamb is considered done when it is 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • I highly recommend Maya Kaimal Vindaloo sauce for an easier option!
