• 1 large Spanish onion cut 1/2" dice

Preparation

Step 1

Cut lamb into 2-inch cubes, season and dredge in flour. In a 4-quart casserole, heat oil until smoking. Brown lamb pieces until dark golden brown, 4 or 5 at a time, and hold on a plate.

Add onion, bell pepper, paprika, saffron and currants and cook until very soft, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add vinegar, honey, cumin, wine and stock and bring to a boil.

Add lamb pieces, return to boil, lower heat and simmer 1 hour 20 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes. Serve warm in bowls with grilled bread.
