ARMENIAN PUMPKIN AND LAMB STEW



Armenian Pumpkin and Lamb Stew image

Adapted from a recipe in good old Yahoo groups. It originally called for the stew to be served in a roasted pumpkin - since this made serving pumpkin problematic (we like to eat pumpkin in our house) I adapted the recipe. Try to use a cooking pumpkin - I love the Long Island Cheese pumpkins for cooking because they have a thick, less watery, non stringy meat than field pumpkins. Winter squash, like candy roasters or acorn or Hubbards work well too.

ARMENIAN PUMPKIN STEW



Armenian Pumpkin Stew image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 3h15m

Yield Four to six servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon cardamom seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 clove
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds lamb stew meat, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 large onion, peeled and minced
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice
1 celery root, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice
4 large, ripe tomatoes, peeled, cored and seeded
1 acorn squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice
2 quarts chicken or beef broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1 large pumpkin, about 5 pounds, cleaned
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup uncooked Basmati rice
1/4 cup minced coriander leaves
3/4 cup minced parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Combine coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, cumin and clove in a spice mill or coffee grinder. Grind until smooth. Set aside. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large, heavy-bottom saucepan. Add the lamb in one layer. Sprinkle with the spice mixture. Sear over medium heat until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove lamb from pan and set aside.
  • Add the onion and garlic to the pan. Saute, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots, celery root, tomatoes and acorn squash. Add the broth. Return lamb to pan. Partly cover and gently simmer until the lamb is tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Season with the salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the pumpkin on a baking sheet. Brush the outside with the remaining oil. Bake until tender, about 45 to 60 minutes. Cook the rice according to package directions. Set aside.
  • To assemble, place the pumpkin in a serving dish. Fill with the lamb stew. Divide the rice among 4 warmed bowls. Ladle the stew from the pumpkin over the rice. Garnish with coriander and parsley. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: Use a firm, ripe pumpkin that is free of blemishes. A sugar pumpkin or a butternut squash are good choices.
  • Cut the pumpkin correctly: Cut the pumpkin in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and pulp. Then, cut the pumpkin into 1-inch cubes.
  • Brown the lamb: Browning the lamb adds flavor and helps to keep it from becoming tough. To brown the lamb, heat a large pot over medium-high heat and add the lamb. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is browned on all sides.
  • Sauté the vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables helps to soften them and bring out their flavor. To sauté the vegetables, heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the onions, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
  • Add the spices: Add the cumin, coriander, paprika, and cinnamon to the pot with the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
  • Add the pumpkin and broth: Add the pumpkin cubes and the chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender.
  • Add the lamb and chickpeas: Add the browned lamb and the chickpeas to the pot and bring to a simmer. Cook for an additional 15 minutes, or until the lamb is cooked through.
  • Season to taste: Season the stew to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish and serve: Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro and a dollop of yogurt. Serve with rice or bread.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin stew with lamb is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold night. The pumpkin adds a natural sweetness to the stew, while the lamb provides a rich and savory flavor.
