Moroccan Lamb Stew with Cauliflower

Moroccan Lamb Stew with Cauliflower

 

If you love the taste of lamb but don’t always love the price, grab yourself a few pounds of lamb stew meat instead. It’s often much less expensive and makes for some of the most comforting, flavorful meals. This Moroccan lamb stew has wonderful, warm spices like cumin, cinnamon and cloves. And it’s made more healthy with cauliflower in place of any heavier root vegetables. My kids gobbled this up and all of them asked for seconds!

The organic lamb stew meat my husband purchased was $11/pound. So trying to have a cheap lamb dish didn’t work. The only problem I had with this recipe, is that with all the spices, it didn’t taste much like lamb. It could have been beef or pork for all you tasted of the meat. If we do this again, I will substitute beef for the lamb at a much better price and use the lamb in a different recipe that helps me really enjoy the taste of the lamb.
