Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1.5kg lamb leg, diced

  • salt and pepper, to season

  • 2 medium onions, diced

  • 2 carrots, diced

  • 1 red capsicum, diced

  • 2 ribs of celery, sliced

  • 5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

  • 1 tbsp ground cumin

  • 1 tbsp paprika

  • 2 tsp ground coriander

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • ½ tsp ground cloves

  • 800g tinned diced tomatoes

  • 500ml chicken stock

To serve

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 cup mint leaves, picked

  • 2 tbsp finely shredded parsley

  • lemon wedges

Method

  1. 1. Heat your oven to 140C fan-forced (160C conventional). Heat a large, low dutch oven over high heat and add the oil. Season the lamb well with salt and pepper and brown in batches, removing from the pot. Add the onions, carrots, capsicum and celery to the pot (you can add a little more oil if needed) and fry for about 5 minutes, then add the garlic and fry for a further 3 minutes until very fragrant. Add the spices, then return the lamb to the pot along with the tomatoes and stock. Cover and transfer to the oven for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.

    2. Allow the stew to stand for about 20 minutes after removing from the oven, then scatter with the remaining ingredients and serve.
