Golden Spiced Lamb

Ingredients:

• ~400g lamb pieces
• 2 medium-sized onion, peeled, topped, tailed, sliced thinly & separate
• 2 large garlic cloves, minced/li>
• 1 tbsp ground turmeric
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tbsp cardamom pods, bruised
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons raisins
• 2 - 3 tbsp whole natural Greek-style yoghurt
• sunflower or vegetable oil, frying
• salt & freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

1. Heat a little oil in a frying pan on a high heat. Rub a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper into the lamb. Add the lamb pieces into the pan and let them brown. Turn them over and brown the pieces all over. Remove from the pan and place on a plate to add back in later.
2. Add a teaspoon of water and the onion slices. Reduce the heat and stir around so that any brown in the pan coats the onion. Cover the pan and let the onions soften for a couple of minutes.
3. Add in the garlic and let it cook for a minute or two until fragrant. Add back in the lamb, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, cardamon pods and good pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Mix arouund well so that everything is well combined. Stir in the water. Turn up the heat and bring to the boil. Give it a good stir. Cover the pan, turn the heat down and leave to simmer for 20 minutes.
4. After 20 minutes, stir in the raisins. Turn off the heat, cover the pan and leave for 5 minutes to settle.
5. Stir in 2 or 3 tablespoons of whole natural Greek-style yoghurt, according to your taste. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.

Enjoy!
