Fancy Pants Lamb Stew
Ingredients
- 4 pounds bone-in lamb shanks
- 2 medium onions, peeled and sliced
- 2 14-ounce cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 cup dried pitted plums, prunes
- ½ cup golden raisins
- ½ cup raw almonds
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- ½-1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 2-inch piece peeled fresh ginger
Instructions
- Use a 6-quart slow cooker. Put the lamb into the bottom of your slow cooker insert and add the onions, tomatoes, dried plums, raisins, and almonds. Stir in the cumin, red pepper flakes (go easy if you don’t want it spicy), and salt. Toss in the chunk of peeled ginger. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Before serving, remove the lamb bones and ginger. Stir the stew well to break up the dried plums.
