Ingredients
Meat & Marinade
- 1 kg lamb knuckle
- Generous sprinkling of spices of choice (I used Aromat, thyme, parsley, oregano, sage)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt & black pepper to taste
Stew Base
- 1 large onion, halved and sliced thin
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or any normal oil you have)
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 3 small pinches fenugreek seeds
- 1 tbsp crushed garlic
- 1 tsp green or red chili paste (optional – I like a little kick)
- 1 grated tomato
- 1 grated apple
- 2 cups beef stock
Vegetables
- 2 carrots, sliced into wedges
- 3 potatoes, quartered
- 1 1/2 cups frozen peas
- 1 gem squash, seeds removed and quartered
Thickener
Cornstar
Instructions
- Toss 1 kg lamb knuckle in your chosen spices, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt & black pepper. Set aside while you prep the veggies.
- Turn the IP on sauté mode, add 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp mustard seeds, ½ tsp cumin seeds, and 3 pinches fenugreek seeds.
- Let them sizzle a bit, then toss in 1 large sliced onion with a pinch of salt. Sauté until onions are soft and fragrant.
- Stir in 1 tbsp crushed garlic and 1 tsp chili paste (if using).
- Add marinated lamb to the pot. Sauté until it’s browned on all sides. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect, just give it a good sear.
- Stir in 1 grated tomato, 1 grated apple, and 2 cups beef stock. Give it a good mix, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Cancel sauté mode, secure the lid, and set the Instant Pot to pressure cook for 15 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes.
- Open the lid, add 3 quartered potatoes, 2 sliced carrots, and 1 ½ cups frozen peas.
- Place the 1 gem squash quarters on top. Pressure cook again for 7 minutes.
- Remove the squash, cancel the pressure cooking, and switch to sauté.
- Make a slurry with cornstarch and Bisto (or just cornstarch if you prefer) and stir it in while the stew bubbles gently to thicken.
- Adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with crusty bread or over rice for a comforting meal.
