Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 8; 3 ounces lamb per serving

Ingredients

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 pounds boneless lamb chuck roast, all visible fat discarded, cut into cubes
2 teaspoons canola or corn oil
3 cups water
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 to 3 teaspoons curry powder
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a medium shallow dish, stir together the flour and pepper. Add the lamb, a few pieces at a time, turning to coat and gently shaking off any excess.

    Step 2

    In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the lamb for about 5 minutes, or until browned on all sides, stirring occasionally. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the lamb to a plate. Pour off the excess fat. Wipe the skillet clean with paper towels. Return the lamb to the skillet.

    Step 3

    Stir in the remaining ingredients except the lemon juice. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour, or until the lamb is tender, stirring occasionally.

    Step 4

    Just before serving, stir in the lemon juice.
