INGREDIENTS
140g Lamb Shoulder, trimmed
1/2 cup canned Chickpeas (82g)
1 Medjool Date
30g Yellow Onion, chopped
3 Garlic Cloves, minced
100g Diced Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Ground Coriander
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil if desired (optional, not included in macro count).
Season the lamb with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Sear the lamb pieces until browned on all sides; remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, and cinnamon to toast the spices lightly, releasing their aromas.
Return the lamb to the pot. Add the diced tomatoes, chickpeas, and chopped medjool date. Stir to combine.
Add a splash of water (about 1/4 cup) to create a modest braising sauce. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes until the lamb is tender.
Just before serving, fold in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt in the warm dish.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve hot.
