Ingredients

  • 1 to 2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 pounds of boneless leg of lamb (or beef or camel meat) cut into 1 to 1 1/2 inch pieces (or four pounds of meat with bones)
  • 2 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 large onions, chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 large cans of beef broth (14 1/2 ounces each; or beef bouillon with water)
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 Tablespoons cold water
  • 1 cup of pitted dates
  • cooked white rice
  • 1/4 cup of toasted slivered almonds (optional)

Directions

1

In a mixing bowl combine the spices and salt. Coat the meat with the seasoning mixture. In a large, heavy skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown the meat, in the hot oil. Add onions and garlic, and stir to combine. Pour the broth over all.

2

Bring to a boil. Then, cover and simmer on the lowest heat for a couple of hours or till the meat is tender. Skim fat from the surface of the juices. Stir cornstarch into the cold water; add to meat in the pan and stir.

3

Add the dates, and stir to combine. Cover and simmer another 15 minutes or till mixture is slightly thickened and bubbly. (This recipe is also delicious when made in a crockery cooker.)

4

Serve hot over white rice and garnish with toasted almonds.
