Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place flour in a resealable plastic bag; season with salt and black pepper. Add lamb to bag; shake until evenly coated with flour.

Step 2

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add lamb in batches; cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch. Set aside.

Step 3

Reduce heat to medium; add remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Stir in onions; cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in apple, chicken stock, raisins, brown sugar, curry powder, and browned lamb; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
