Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook the lamb meat in batches until browned on all sides, using additional oil as necessary, about 3 minutes per batch. Set aside. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in the Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in the onions; cook until tender and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add the coriander, cumin, cardamom, ginger, turmeric, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper; cook and stir until the spices are fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Return the lamb to the Dutch oven; pour in the beef stock and season with salt to taste. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the lamb is very tender, about 1 hour.
- Once the lamb is very tender, remove the lid, and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 20 minutes. Stir in the yogurt and lemon juice before serving.

WEST INDIAN LAMB CURRY
Curried goat is a popular dish in the West Indies, but lamb makes a fine substitute here in the United States, where goat meat is hard to find. This version, by the chef Martin Maginley from the Round Hill resort in Jamaica, is deeply flavored with allspice and Scotch bonnet peppers, but not overwhelming spicy. If you have time to make it the day before, it gets better as it sits, and gives you a chance to scoop some of the fat off the top of the stew before reheating over a low flame. And if you can procure goat, use it here in place of the lamb.

Steps:
- Pat lamb dry with paper towels and place in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon curry powder, the salt, the ground ginger and the black pepper. Add spice mix to large bowl and toss with lamb.
- Combine onion, scallion, garlic, fresh ginger, allspice, thyme leaves and 2 tablespoons oil in a blender; purée until smooth. Scrape mixture over lamb and toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Stir in 2 teaspoons curry powder and heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, brown the meat on all sides. Drizzle in additional oil, if needed, to prevent meat from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Transfer browned meat to a plate as it browns.
- Once all the meat has been browned, return it to the pot, along with any juices on the plate. Add enough water to just cover meat. Bring liquid to a simmer, covered, then uncover the pot and cook gently for 45 minutes.
- Stir potato, carrot and pepper into pot. Simmer until vegetables are fork tender and meat is cooked through, about 30 to 45 minutes longer.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer meat and vegetables to a bowl. Simmer cooking liquid until it has reduced and thickened to a saucy consistency (to taste), about 15 minutes. Taste sauce and add more salt if needed. Pour sauce over meat. Serve over rice, topped with a squeeze of lime, a dollop of mango chutney or pickle and fresh cilantro.

CURRIED LAMB
We don't have lamb for dinner very often - usually when we do, it's a traditional leg of lamb when my mother is visiting. This, however, is a nice, simple, and easily-made variation for when you find less expensive cuts of lamb.

Steps:
- Soak onion in water until soft about 5 minutes.
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium high heat, and add the onion and saute until golden about 4 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low, then add coriander, cumin, cardamom, ginger, tumeric, garlic powder, freshly ground black pepper, and ground red pepper (cayenne), and stir 1 minute.
- Add the cubed lamb meat to skillet, then increase the temperature to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until meat is evenly browned, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add stock and salt, reduce temperature to medium, cover, and simmer until meat is tender, about 20 minutes.
- Uncover and simmer an additional approx 20 minutes until the sauce is thickened to desired consistency.
- Stir in yogurt and lemon juice and serve immediately over cooked rice.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality lamb. Look for meat that is fresh, not frozen, and has a good amount of marbling.
- Trim any excess fat from the lamb before cooking. This will help to reduce the amount of grease in the dish.
- Use a variety of spices in your curry powder. This will give the dish a complex and flavorful taste. Some common spices used in curry powder include cumin, coriander, turmeric, fenugreek, and chili powder.
- Be sure to sauté the onions and garlic before adding the lamb. This will help to release their flavor and aroma.
- Brown the lamb in a hot pan before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to develop the flavor and color of the meat.
- Add enough liquid to the slow cooker so that the lamb is covered. This will help to prevent the meat from drying out.
- Cook the lamb on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours. This will allow the meat to become tender and fall apart easily.
- Serve the curry with rice or naan bread.
Conclusion:
Caribbean curried lamb is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is also a relatively easy dish to make, especially if you use a slow cooker. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily impress your friends and family with this exotic dish.
