Jamaican Curry Lamb Recipe
Here’s a delicious recipe for Jamaican Curry Lamb that you can try at home:
Ingredients:
For the marinade:
- 1.5 pounds of lamb meat, cut into chunks
- 1 tablespoon Jamaican curry powder
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the curry:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Jamaican curry powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup chicken or beef broth
- 2 potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 carrot, peeled and diced
- 1 scallion, finely chopped
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Directions:
- In a bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients and mix well. Add the lamb chunks and toss to coat. Let the lamb marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the marinated lamb to the pot, reserving any remaining marinade. Cook the lamb until it is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the Jamaican curry powder, turmeric, paprika, cumin, coriander, thyme, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to toast the spices and enhance their flavors.
- Pour in the reserved marinade, coconut milk, and chicken or beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Add the diced potatoes and carrots to the pot, and continue simmering until the lamb is tender and the vegetables are cooked for about 20-25 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed. Stir in the chopped scallions.
- Serve the Jamaican Curry Lamb hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. It pairs well with rice, naan, or roti.
