Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat the Olive Oil. In a large pot, warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Brown the Lamb. Add 1 pound of lamb chunks to the hot oil, browning on all sides for 6-8 minutes.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables. Add 3 chopped onions, 2 diced carrots, 1 diced bell pepper, and 2 minced garlic cloves; sauté until tender.
  4. Incorporate Broth and Spices. Pour in 2 cups of broth and 2 teaspoons ground cumin, 1 teaspoon each of ginger, cinnamon, paprika, salt, and pepper; stir well.
  5. Bring to a Boil. Increase heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Simmer Until Tender. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  7. Serve the Stew. Once the lamb is fork-tender, ladle into bowls and serve hot.
