Make a traditional and hearty lamb stew for your Eid al-Adha celebration. This simple, one-pot recipe delivers deep flavor and is perfect for sharing with family and neighbors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large onions, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups beef or lamb broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the lamb cubes generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove the browned lamb and set it aside.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onions to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Return the lamb to the pot. Add the carrots, celery, diced tomatoes, and broth. Add the bay leaf.
  6. Bring the stew to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the lamb is very tender. Stir occasionally.
  7. Remove the bay leaf. Taste the stew and adjust salt and pepper as needed. If the stew is too thin, remove the lid and simmer for the last 15 minutes to reduce slightly.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. This is a great celebratory meal.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, you can brown the lamb the day before and refrigerate it in the broth overnight.
  • If you do not have lamb broth, use beef broth or chicken broth for this holiday lamb dish.
  • Serve this traditional Muslim food with crusty bread for dipping.
