Moroccan Lamb Stew

"I came across this recipe some years ago in a woman's magazine and it has become a huge hit with my family. It takes a while to prepare, but it is well worth it! This recipe makes quite a large batch, so you can freeze some for meals at a later stage."

  1. This was delicious! The whole family thought so! I cooked in a slow cooker for 6 hours after adding the broth. Halt the time at high and the other half at low. Added the potatoes and squash half way through. Squash was overcooked so will have to reduce their time when I make this again and I will make this again! I also would like the broth to be a little thicker so will add some corn starch next time as well as make a bit less sweet and more spice. But it's also lovely as-is. Thanks for sharing! This was my first lamb stew and was delicious! Elissa

  2. 5 Excellent Stars ! DH made this today and while the ingredient list is long, it wasn't hard to put together and the smell in the house when I got home from work was... yummmm! The taste of the cinnamon sticks REALLY comes though and DH did comment that maybe next time he will make it less sweetness ( he doesn't like sweet stuff in meat and veg dishes)... I told him that if he did that then the spicyness of the chili sauce etc would not be so well balanced, and that the taste wouldn't be at all the same. DH is fairly fussy about stews, but loves lamb and this recipe was a HIT with him. He's demanding that I keep this one safe so that he can make it again and again and again..., and THAT earns any recipe 5 stars immediately. He used pumpkin and sweet potato, but we only had lamb neck chops (they worked fine) and followed the recipe exactly. This is a dish of very strong flavours and is pungent and spicy and PACKED full of flavours. If you have a sense of adventure then this is a dish for you and if you love lamb then whoo hoo, you are gonna have fun here. DH has now commented on making this dish again 3 times since dinner... it's saved into my recipe book and WILL be enjoyed again soon. This is a winner of a recipe, Thanks!!!
