How to Make Aussie Jumbuck Stew
- Trim fat from 500g lamb shoulder chops.
- In a bowl, mix together 2 tbsp plain flour, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tbsp curry powder, and 1 tsp grated ginger. Coat the lamb chops evenly in the mixture.
- Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large, heavy-based pan over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb chops on both sides for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the lamb chops from the pan and set aside on a plate.
- Add the remaining 2 tbsp butter to the pan. Add 1 large chopped onion and cook gently until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Return the lamb chops to the pan.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup brown sauce, 1/4 cup tomato sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 2 cups lamb stock. Pour the mixture over the lamb.
- Add 500g peeled and cubed pumpkin to the pan. Cover the pan, bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 1 hour.
- Skim off any excess fat from the surface of the stew.
- Cover and continue to cook for a further 30 minutes, or until the lamb chops and pumpkin are tender.
- Serve hot with warm damper bread and mashed potatoes.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
