For a richer flavor, use lamb broth instead of water. Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or celery. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens the stew. Garnish with extra cilantro for added freshness.
Savor the rich and comforting flavors of tender lamb, slow-cooked with hearty potatoes, aromatic cumin, and a burst of fresh cilantro. Braised in beer for exceptional depth, this stew is a culinary hug in a bowl.
In a bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the cubed lamb and marinate for 30 minutes to infuse the meat with flavor. (30 minutes)
Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the marinated lamb on all sides to create a rich crust, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the lamb and set aside. (15 minutes)
Reduce the heat to medium, add the chopped onion to the skillet, and cook until softened and translucent, approximately 5 minutes. (5 minutes)
Return the browned lamb to the skillet. Pour in the beer and stir in the chopped cilantro. Season with a bay leaf, salt, and pepper. (3 minutes)
Cover the skillet and simmer over low heat for 1 hour, allowing the lamb to become incredibly tender and the flavors to meld. (1 hour)
Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet, cover, and continue to cook over low heat until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. If the stew becomes too dry, add water or broth as needed to maintain a saucy consistency. (30 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use lamb broth instead of water. Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or celery. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens the stew. Garnish with extra cilantro for added freshness.
