Lamb Stew

[omly]

Recently I visited the farmer's market in Davis square and discovered this cute little local lamb vendor. The sell everything from wool to whole lambs, but I just picked up some stock bones and stew meat to try them out. Yesterday I made lamb stock in the afternoon to use in a variation of moroccan lamb stew. I had butternut squash left from the CSA, but didn't feel up to processing it. So I used CSA carrots instead. (And obviously no onions or shallots were involved, and the rest of the spices were adapted accordingly.) Reactions were fairly positive from those who had it, but with many of us in the household not feeling well that wasn't everyone. Given that I initially bought the lamb with cintyber in mind, I was a little sad that she wasn't feeling well enough to really have the stew, but at least there was stock in the house that she could actually have.
