Ingredients For Caribbean Lamb Curry

• 1.5 lbs Lamb Leg cut into 2″ cubes
• 2 Tbls Curry Powder, divided
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Pepper
• Juice of 1 Lime
• 1 Onion, sliced
• 6 Garlic Cloves, minced
• 1 Tbls Ginger, grated
• 1 Habañero, minced
• 2 Tbls Butter
• 1 tsp Dried Thyme
• 1 tsp Ground Cloves
• 2 tsp Ground Allspice
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 Cinnamon Stick
• 14 oz Diced Tomatoes
• 1 Tbls Brown Sugar
• 1 Cup Beef, Chicken or Lamb Broth

Marinate the Lamb

We bought a whole 6 lb leg of lamb and cut it into three pieces. we’re using about 1.5 lbs for this recipe. You can use lamb shoulder or even lamb stew meat for this. We’ll put the lamb chunks in a medium mixing bowl and add 1 tablespoon of the curry powder, salt, pepper and the lime juice. Once that is all mixed together well cover the bowl and put it in the refrigerator until we are ready to cook it.

Cook the Onions

Next we will put some butter in a stock pot and add our sliced onion, garlic, ginger and habañero. We’ll let this cook for about 20 minutes until the onion is well softened. We used one habañero but you could use more if you want it spicier.. You could also use ghost pepper or whatever amount of heat you prefer. This was just about as spicy as Kelly can enjoy with the one habañero.

Make the Spice Mix

While our onions are cooking we will mix together our spices. In a small bowl we’ll mix together the dried thyme, ground cloves, ground allspice and cinnamon.

Add the Spice Mix To the Pot

Once the onions have softened we will stir in the spice mix and let that cook for a minute or so until it becomes fragrant.

Brown the Lamb

Now we will put the lamb in the pan and brown it for about 5 minutes. We’ll stir this frequently so it gets browned on all sides.

Add Tomatoes, Sugar and Broth

Lastly we will add the tomatoes, sugar and broth. You can use fresh tomatoes for this if you want. You can just remove the seeds and dice them. We are using a can of organic diced tomatoes. For the broth you can use beef, chicken or lamb broth, whichever you have on hand.

Cook Covered For One Hour

We’ll bring this to a very low simmer, cover the pot and let it cook for one hour. Our curry will be fairly soupy after an hour.

Cook Uncovered For 30 Minutes

Next we’ll turn the heat up a little and cook thew curry uncovered for a half hour. This will allow our curry to develop a nice, thick gravy.

Serve With Rice and a Squeeze Of Lime

This curry is great served with rice. We added 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the rice while it was cooking and it really complemented the warm flavors of the curry perfectly. A squeeze of lime adds a little Caribbean spin.
