This curry is a sure dinner party pleaser, as it is sure to satisfy all your guests - Paleo or not! Just increase the quantities accordingly. It is a perfect dish to use a cheaper cut of lamb such as shoulder.

It can be cooked on the stove top at a low simmer, in your crockpot or bunged into the oven and forgotten about for an hour and a half. Perfect!

400g of lamb, chopped into cubes.
1/2 tbsp ground turmeric
3/4 tbsp ground cumin
1/2 tbsp ground coriander
1 litre of chicken stock
Salt/Pepper
100ml coconut milk
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 large sweet potato
1-2 tbs coconut oil
Large handful of spinach

Preheat the oven to 140C.
Heat the oil on a medium heat in a your saucepan or oven proof dish.
Brown off the lamb and remove from pan.
Fry garlic and onion until softened.
Add the spices and fry off for 2 minutes.
Return the lamb and any juices to the pan.
Add the stock and bring to a simmer.
Place in oven and cook for an hour.
Add the sweet potato and cook for remaining 30 minutes.
Add coconut milk and spinach for last 10 minutes.
Lamb and sweet potato should be tender.
