Meal Prep: Extreme Edition - Slow Cooker Lamb Rogan Josh

It has taken me a long time to really get into Indian food.  I am totally useless when it comes to chillis and spice, so I pretty much ate naan bread, and that was it.

Over the last couple of years, Mack has managed to order it in a few times, with me eating butter chicken almost exclusively (I have a great recipe for that too, but we'll get to that another time), along with my standard naans.  Up until recently.  When we ventured into Rogan Josh territory - and I loved it!

This recipe is a fusion of 2 recipes we found online, and it is SO delicious.  I really don't know how authentic it is because... well... I'm not Indian.  But it's yummy, and that is all that matters as far as I'm concerned!

This recipe is another throw everything in in the slow cooker and let the magic happen.


Slow Cooker Lamb Rogan Josh     |     Portions: 12
Ingredients:
- 1kg lamb shoulder, diced
- 2 brown onions, finally diced
- 8 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp. ginger, peeled and grated (or, if you're like me, the jar of already minced ginger works)
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 4 bay leaves
- 6 - 10 cardamon pods, crushed
- 2 tsp. chilli powder
- 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
- 3 tsp. ground cumin
- 5 tsp. dried coriander
- 3 tsp. paprika
- 2 tsp. tumeric
- 3 tsp. garam masala
- 2 tsp. white sugar
- 4 fresh tomatoes, diced
- 1 can diced or whole tomatoes
- 600ml beef stock
- salt, pepper, vegetable oil

Method:
Step 1: heat vegetable oil and brown the lamb over a medium heat
Step 2: add all ingredients to the slow cooker, and cook on high for 3 hours (set a timer!)
Step 3: remove cinnamon sticks and bay leaves before serving or portioning


SO easy!

You would then serve this with steamed white rice, a spoonful of plain Greek yoghurt (not the vanilla flavour... we made that mistake once haha) and, of course, some naans!

You can make your own naans fairly easily (the supermarket ones are terrible), but once I have made this little delight, I use Menulog to order naans from my local Indian restaurant.  And yes they have a minimum spend of $30... which is like 10 or 12 naans breads. Haha!  Good job they freeze well as well!

Until next week.
