Lamb Stew

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pound lamb, (from the shoulder)
  • 1/8 teaspoon powdered cloves
  • 3 tablespoon lard
  • 1 cup tomato
  • 3 cup boiling water
  • 2 medium-sized potatoes
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 tablespoon rice
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots

Directions

  1. Wipe the meat with a damp cloth, and cut into two-inch pieces.
  2. Place the lard in a frying-pan, and when hot, add the onion cut fine and allow to brown.
  3. Add the meat and brown.
  4. Add the boiling water to the meat and onion, and cook one minute.
  5. Pour all of the contents of the frying-pan into a sauce pan, and let it cook slowly for one hour.
  6. Increase the heat a little to allow the stew to boil occasionally.
  7. Add the potatoes cut in one-inch cubes, and the diced carrots.
  8. In twenty minutes, add a cup of canned tomato pulp or fresh tomatoes to the stew.
  9. Add the seasoning (salt and cloves), and cook ten minutes.
  10. This allows two hours for the entire stew.
  11. If at this time the stew does not seem thick enough, mix four tablespoons of water very slowly with two level tablespoons of flour, stir thoroughly, and pour slowly into the stew.
  12. Allow to cook two minutes and serve.
