🛒 Ingredients

✓ 300g lean lamb shoulder, trimmed and cubed
✓ 1 medium onion, diced
✓ 3 cloves garlic, minced
✓ 1.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
✓ 1 tsp ground fenugreek seeds
✓ 1/2 tsp ground coriander
✓ 1/2 tsp cumin
✓ 400ml low-sodium lamb or chicken stock
✓ Sea salt and black pepper to taste
✓ 1 bird's eye chili, halved (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Sear the Lamb: Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Season lamb cubes with salt and pepper. Work in batches (2–3 minutes per side) until golden brown all over. Set aside on a clean plate.

2. Build the Aromatics: In the same pot, sauté diced onion for 4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant. Scrape up any caramelized lamb bits from the bottom.

3. Toast the Spices: Sprinkle fenugreek, coriander, and cumin over the onion mixture. Stir constantly for 60 seconds to bloom the spices and release their essential oils.

4. Return Lamb & Simmer: Return seared lamb to the pot. Add stock and halved chili (if using). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cover partially and cook for 35–40 minutes until lamb is fork-tender.

5. Temper the Greek Yogurt: Remove 3 tbsp of hot broth and whisk it slowly into Greek yogurt to prevent curdling. Stir this mixture back into the pot gently. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.

6. Whip the Fenugreek Foam: In a small bowl, whisk aquafaba with ground fenugreek and lemon juice using an electric whisk or fork for 2–3 minutes until light, airy, and foamy.

7. Plate and Crown: Ladle the bubbling stew into two shallow bowls. Top each with a generous spoonful of fenugreek foam. Garnish with fresh cilantro and parsley.

8. Serve Immediately: Serve at once with warm flatbread on the side for scooping. The foam is best enjoyed while still warm and foamy.
