There are many recipes for lamb stew from all over the world. I will make today my recipe, a combination of Transylvanian and Moroccan flavours.

First I Prepare the Ingredients

For two portions I will use about a half kilogram of lamb shoulder in this recipe and after I thoroughly cleaned the fat, I cut the meat into cubes.

In this recipe, I will use a few vegetables, one medium-size onion, four garlic cloves, one leek and one sweet red pepper.

I cleaned, washed and chopped the onion, the leek, the garlic cloves and the red pepper.

The ingredients are ready, we can start cooking.

How to Make the Best Lamb Stew Recipe With Raisins and Couscous?

In a saucepan, I heat about 100 ml of extra virgin olive oil. When the oil is hot, I put to fry the onions and the chopped leek.

Fry the onion and leek for about five minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens but does not become crispy, then I add the chopped pepper and the garlic.

After that, I put two bay leaves, and two teaspoons of sea salt and I let it gently fry for another five minutes, stirring it from time to time. Now we can add the lamb meat.

Stir and let the meat fry until it got some colour and then we can season it. Put two teaspoons of freshly ground pepper, one tablespoon of Hungarian sweet paprika and one tablespoon of tomato paste.

Also for a Moroccan flavour, I add a half teaspoon of cinnamon, a teaspoon of rosemary, one teaspoon of ground cumin and a handful of raisins.

Pour water over, until the meat was covered and I let everything simmer at the medium-low temperature for about an hour and a half.

Check if the meat has softened, if not, fill with a little more water and let it boil for a while. Taste it, and if it’s still needed, add a little more salt.

And the best lamb stew recipe with raisins and couscous is ready!

Serving

In our country, lamb stew is usually served with polenta or mashed potatoes. But I preferred to continue with the Moroccan influences and I served with couscous and of course, pickled red peppers.
