Lamb Curry
To make Caribbean lamb curry, start by seasoning lamb chunks with a blend of spices like curry powder, turmeric, and allspice. Sauté onions, garlic, and ginger in oil until fragrant, then add the seasoned lamb and brown it. Stir in fresh herbs like thyme and Scotch bonnet peppers for heat. Add chopped tomatoes, coconut milk, and water to create a rich sauce, and let it simmer until the lamb becomes tender. Adjust the seasoning, and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving, often with rice or roti.
