1. Marinating the lamb meat:
Begin by washing the lamb meat thoroughly, removing any excess fat, and patting it dry. Rub the meat with salt and crushed garlic. Cut the red onions in half and grate the ginger.
In a deep pot or bowl, place the meat, onions, and ginger. Add olive oil, mustard, sweet wine, water/tomato juice, crushed garlic, and spices. Massage the meat thoroughly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
2. Roasting the Lamb:
Preheat the oven to 170°C. Transfer the marinated lamb and its contents to a deep cooking tray with a lid. Roast for approximately 1 hour. Remove from the oven, drain excess liquid, and sprinkle with olive oil and wine. Return to the oven, baking uncovered for an additional 20 minutes until browned and crispy.
3. Cooking the Stew:
Chop and prepare all the vegetables listed. Sauté in sunflower or olive oil until softened.
Add flour, spices, tomato juice, wine, mustard, and bay leaves. Stir until thickened and let it simmer for 5 more minutes. Click here for a detailed Pepper-Veggie Harmony, a Simple Side Dish Recipe, which you can adapt.
