Lamb stew- Chilindron de carnero     
by Memories of a Cuban Kitchen

Chilindron de carnero               Serves: 6  

Notes: Goes great with white rice and sweet plantains
Directions:

1 In a large nonreactive bowl, sprinkle the lamb chunks liberally with salt, pepper, and lime juice, cover, and refrigerate 2 hours.


2 Drain the lamb (reserving the marinade) and pat it dry, then roll the lamb chunks in the flour. In a large, heavy-bottomed casserole, heat the oil over medium heat until fragrant, then brown the lamb on all sides, turning it with a slotted spoon, and transfer it to a plate when done.

3 In the same casserole, brown the bacon over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes, then add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring, until tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Return the lamb to the casserole, add the reserved marinade, the tomatoes, sherry, oregano, cumin seeds, paprika, and bay leaf, over, and simmer until the lamb is tender, 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Transfer to a serving bowl, discard the bay leaf, stir in the parsley, and serve with Arroz Blanco (Perfect White Rice).
