Garlic Lamb Stew
Garlic Lamb Stew
added by simesh

The amount of garlic in this dish might sound overpowering but I promise you - try it once and you will add it to your repertoire! The lemon tenderises the lamb at the last moment allowing the meat to fall apart and lead your guests to believe you have been cooking this dish for many hours!

Directions
1. Drop the whole bulb of garlic into a pan of boiling water and allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes. Then remove from the water and allow to cool slightly. 2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large heavy based saucepan and brown the lamb. 3. Add the tomatoes and tomato puree to the pan and partially cover the lamb with additional water. 4. Squeeze the garlic bulbs out of their skins and into the pan with the lamb & tomato. 5. Bring to a simmer then cover with a tight fitting lid for at least 45 minutes. 6. Remove the lid for 10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken. 7. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the pan and allow to bubble for another 5-10 minutes. 8. Adjust seasoning to taste. 9. Serve into warmed bowls with steamed rice and your favourite green veg!
