Lamb Stew... A relief in a Cold, Rainy Night

Monday night, first day of the week and it’s raining heavily outside. Started to have runny nose and sneezing which are hallmarks the symptoms of flu, I had decided that I needs something warm and savory to overcome this chilly cold night. So here the idea of quick and simple spiced lamb stew full of potatoes, tomato, radish and leeks came on. It is very traditional, nothing in that stew is browned first, just all stewed together and allow to simmer inside high heat of microwave oven.
Ingredients (2 serving)
  • 200g lamb brisket, cut into bite size
  • 1 big onion, peeled and diced
  • 2 med size potato, cut into 2cm cube
  • 200g celery stalk, diced
  • 100g cherry tomato
  • 100g radish, thinly sliced
  • thumbsize of ginger, thinly sliced
  • mixed spice, (cinnamon bark, star annise, clove, cardamon seed)
  • 500ml of water
  • 1 tbs of gravy granule
  •  3 tbs oil
  • salt and pepper for seasoning
 
Method
  1. In a ceramic pot, microwave spices, ginger and onion in oil for 1 min in high heat. Stir the spice mix in between. Add in lamb brisket and potato, continue on high heat for another  4 min. Continue stirring at 1-2 min interval.
  2. Add in water  and continue cooking process in medium heat for 10 min. After 10 min, add remaining tomato, celery and radish along with salt, pepper and gravy granule. Mix well. 
  3. Cover the pot and let the stew cook for another 4 min under medium heat.
  4. Allow for standing time of 5-8 min before serving. Serve warm.
