Persian Style Lamb & Sweet Potato Stew with Apricots & Herbs

Recipe Source:
Ingredients:
  • 2 – 3 lbs boneless leg of lamb, cut into 1” to 2” pieces
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½” cubes
  • 6 oz dried apricots
  • 1 – 15 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 6 – 8 sprigs thyme
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 TB coriander
  • 1 TB turmeric
  • 1 TB tamarind paste
  • 2 tsps ground cumin
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • salt – to taste
  • zest & juice of 1 large lemon
  • 2 –3 tsps red pepper flakes

To Serve:
  • feta
  • 3 TBs mint, roughly chopped
  • handful cilantro, roughly chopped
  • handful dill, roughly chopped
  • basmati rice

Preparation:
  • Heat a large cast iron pan over medium heat. When hot, work in batches to sear the lamb pieces on all sides (about 30 to 60 seconds per side ~ as the pan gets hotter, the time will get shorter). Remove and place in a large pot.
  • Once all the lamb is seared, but not cooked through, add the onions to the pan. Stir, scrapping up any browned bits. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant ~ about 30 seconds. Remove and place in the pot.
  • To the pot, add in the sweet potatoes, apricots, canned diced tomatoes, beef stock, red wine, cinnamon sticks, bay leaves, thyme, honey, coriander, turmeric, tamarind paste, ground cumin, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well-combined. Cover and bring the pot to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the lamb and sweet potatoes are tender.
  • Add the lemon juice and zest and red pepper flakes. Stir, then season to taste with salt.
  • Serve over basmati rice with mint, cilantro, dill, and feta sprinkled on top.
  • Enjoy!

   Farmhouse Cheese Are you caught up in March madness and planning a meal with friends? Use our savory Hickory Grove for a delicious grilled cheese sandwich or a cheeseburger with our beef; use fresh and tangy Dairyland Farmers for tacos with Chorizo or beef. Mix and match cheeses for a cheese board. We have a well-aged Thunder Mt. Swiss, YoYo our version of an unsweetened yogurt, Carolina Moon, New Moon, pungent Danziger, Hickory Grove, Calvander (our Asiago style), Dairyland Farmers, Hot Farmers, semi-aged New Moon, and hopefully a little Dill Farmers. New Moon is a button size cheese that’s a younger version of our Carolina Moon. It has a flaky texture and light, milky flavor, Carolina Moon is aged longer, so that it has more complex flavors and a creamy texture.
   Pastured Beef -SALE on ground beef and ground round! Order some ahead at the link below. We will offer these at a sale price if you buy 2 of each. (Ground beef 2 for $12 instead of $7 each and ground round at $14 for 2 instead of $8 each. We also have various steaks and chuck roasts. We’re bringing a recipe for Korean flank steak that we think you’ll like. Our herd is Animal Welfare Approved, pasture raised, and known for its flavor.
  Whey Fed Pork We have Pork Chops, Smoked Ham Hocks, and mild and hot sausages. Covid limited our stock of pigs so we may run low on some flavors; get your favorites before they run out. Check our sign at the market to see what we have each week, or place a preorder for cheese or meat.

Hopefully, our Ace vegetable grower and farm manager, Mario, will be returning this week from spending time with his family in Mexico.  We hope they will be able to join him on the farm in the next several months. It has been a LONG TIME waiting with filing the correct paperwork, expenses, and the following mandatory government protocols.

Also, we have great news: our wonderful market helper, Sofia, is staying in the US! Tammy, Mario, and I really enjoy her helping us at the market and the customers love her! She is so knowledgeable about local food.  We can't wait until our other Italian friend, Francesco, comes back to the US in August ... they are both helping us plan and organize the small farmer fundraiser, Dinner in the Meadow, scheduled for Sunday, September 11th.
 
Many of you have asked for a VISIT to our farm, so mark your calendar for Sunday, May 15th from 10:00 a.m. -- 6:00 p.m.! We will offer a walk around the farmhouse and Century old barns, describing the old commisonary and wellhouse, hen house, smoke house, Mule barn, Seed barn, and more. You will be able to drive down the road to the greenhouse and organic vegetable fields. Bring your cooler and stock up on organic ripe strawberries and asparagus along with meats. 'Brats on a bun" will be served for lunch if you like to eat lunch on the premises. We will be one stop on the "Women in Ag: Local Foods Tour" this day... so plan to visit other farms in Franklin County also on May 15th. Details coming... There is no charge to participate in the tour and visit the eight farms on the tour.
