Vicky's Improvised Morrocan Lamb Curry

I fuck around a lot in class. Everyone thought this turned out phenomenal... it was supposed to be a generic lamb curry but I took it to the next step!

NOTE: for vegetarians, or lamb haters, this would also be great with chickpeas, or cauliflower, chicken, seafood, whatever. enjoy!

YOU NEED:
1 pound chunks of lamb, shoulder is fine
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons grated ginger
3 tablespoons curry powder
4 chopped tomatoes
tomato juice and water just to cover
cardamon pods
2 tablespoons cumin
2 tablespoons tomato paste
some cinnamon, allspice, turmeric,  salt, and pepper to taste
1 or 2 large onions, chopped finely
fat rendered from lamb or ghee
red pepper flakes or hot sauce, to taste

1. start by browning the lamb in a pan in a bit of ghee [butter]
2. remove, keep fat if you want, add in chopped onion, garlic, and ginger, then lamb back in.
3 toss in mix of spices. add more as you need. add tomato paste.
4. add in some tomato juice, stock, or water until lamb is almost covered.
5. let cook for an hour until reduced, tasting and adjusting as you go.

serve on rice with chopped mint!
