Yesterday was my middle guy’s birthday. Alex turned the big 0-5. We had apple cake, we had marble cake, we had ice cream, and tomorrow his class will have a life sized sugar cookie baked and decorated with love by both myself and Alex. I think I might have a sugar coma just from the celebration of this one special day and I still have my youngest’s birthday as well as my own and my blog’s to get through this month (that’s right, my blogoversary is coming up in just a couple short weeks!).
Whenever I find myself over my head in sugar, which incidentally, happens every February around this time, the best way I know to get out is to cook up a dish so hearty and delicious that it erases all memory of the oversized pile of sweetness I just finished consuming. That is, until I open up my fridge and see the caramel apple cake sitting there.
Ingredients Needed:
11/2 Pds of Cooked Lamb
1 Onion, Chopped
2 Cups of Broth (Beef or Chicken)
6 Oz. of Mushrooms, Chopped
2 Tbsp of Curry
1 Tbsp of Rosemary
2 Cloves of Garlic
2 Tbsp of Butter
2 Tbsp of Olive Oil
1 Tbsp of Garam Masala
1 tsp of Ginger
1 tsp of Salt
1/2 tsp of Fennel
1 Tbsp of Oregano
2 Large Baking Potatoes, Cubed
1 Can of Tomato Paste
1 Bunch of Cilantro, Chopped
1/2 Cup of Plain Yogurt
Don’t be scared by the list of ingredients in this dish. It looks like a lot, but it’s really just a spice dump and I promise that the combination will leave you licking your fork, fingers, and just maybe even your plate. I used leftover pre-cooked lamb, but I’m guessing raw lamb stew meat would work just as well.
Pull out your slow cooker and add everything into the pot with the exception of the yogurt.
Now turn on your pot, setting it on low for the next 4-6 hours or high for the next 3-5. Walk away and don’t look back until it’s time for dinner. Catch up on the latest episode of Glee, fold some laundry, dance around your family room singing a”I’m Walking on Sunshine”. Do anything but worry about dinner.
When the magic hour arrives, cook up a batch of rice and while that’s in progress, you’ll simply open up your slow cooker, grab your yogurt and stir it into the curry.
Who knew dinner could be so easy. Sugar high what?

Since I don’t have it in front of me I am just licking my lips. Great meal and Happy Birthday to your little bird.
Happy Birthday to little Alex. I wish I was 0-5!. Lamb curry… I know my hubby would kill for this. He loves lamb so much. I don’t eat lamb very often but you had me with the curry! What a wonderful meal Julie.
Have a great week ahead.

That curry looks delicious… though I admit, so does the cookie!

The Big 0-5…I love it! That is a beautiful cake for a gorgeous little boy. Happy Birthday Alex!
This one looks absolutely fantastic! Thank you for kind words over Chef’s Dennis blog 🙂
I’ve never cooked lamb. Now that I think of it I’m not sure if I’ve ever eaten it! This would be really exotic for our family.
Please wish Alex Happy Birthday! How cute is that pic. I wish mine were 5 again. Love how you made this in the crock pot, what a great idea. I love dishes like this, but not being tied to the stove. Hope you are having a great week.

Hurray for all of the upcoming celebrations! Lots of big things coming up this month, no? I have a confession to make: I have no idea where to buy lamb or duck. My local grocery doesn’t carry either….

Aww, happy 5th birthday to that adorable little boy!
Awhhh, Happy Birthday little guy 🙂 Our Dec through to January is a bit like your month of February…., it seems we arrive into the New Year every year in a sugar coma wearing extra kgs but what the heck huh….. a birthday’s a birthday & the celebrating is fun. Lovin’ the curry, sounds really yummy & did you say a life size sugar cookie..??!! (Images of a class room of 5 yr olds tucking into that one are screaming through my head) 🙂
Happy birthday to your little guy! This sounds delicious and I can just imagine the smells while it’s cooking! Yum!
Happy Birthday to your little one! He is adorable (I’m not surprised by that though…considering his genes!) This lamb curry sounds delicious too. I don’t cook lamb very often, but this recipe might make an appearance very soon! Thanks for always making me smile with your words, photos and recipes. I hope that your Wednesday is full of joy!
What a cute birthday cookie! Happy birthday to all of you! Our big month is August, when the girls’ birthdays are nine days apart. I always think it’s efficient, with me concentrating most of my birthday organization into one month a year.
I love curry and I love slow cooking but I have never tried lamb. I have heard it is very good. I just may try this! Happy birthday to your little man!
That looks delicious! I’ve only ever had lamb in gyros. I will have to try this since I’ve been loving my crock pot lately!
I got a new crockpot for Christmas and I’ve only used it once. This sounds like a good opportunity to bring it out and put it to use. Belated Happy B-day to your little one 🙂
Your recipe calls for cooked lamb, but having never worked with lamb I’m not sure what that means. What cut of lamb are you using? Were you able to buy it cooked? Or, how did you cook it?

I had leftover lamb which is why I called for cooked. You could just as easily use raw though. If it were me, I would get a saucepan good and hot, drop just enough cooking oil to coat the bottom of the pan and when that’s good and hot, toss in your cubes of lamb and sear for a couple minutes to get a golden brown outside. Then just proceed with the recipe and add them to the slow cooker. As far as the cut goes, any should work. Find the least expensive cut and run with it. You’ll be cooking it long and slow so it will be tender once it’s cooked regardless of the cut you choose. Tell your butcher what you’re making and ask him to cube up some lamb for you. I hope that helps a bit!
Three years after you posted this I came across it on Gojee. I had been let down by friends at the last minute so had thawed out too many lovely lamb shanks for a dinner party. I cut up the two spares, quickly browned them and threw them into this mixture. All I can say is .. Wow. I think it would also work with chicken and beef or with a bunch of spinach added to the lamb. Thanks a lot for this delicious, easy recipe.
I served marinated lamb last night which was delicious. Now have 2 pounds. left over. How many does the curried recipe serve? Thanks
