Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ pounds boneless lamb leg, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes

  • ½ teaspoon salt, divided

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or neutral oil, such as canola or avocado

  • 2 teaspoons butter

  • ½ medium onion, diced

  • 1 jalapeño pepper, finely chopped

  • 3 tablespoons grated fresh ginger

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 1 ½ teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary

  • 1 ½ teaspoons berbere seasoning

  • 1 medium tomato, diced

  • ¼ cup water

Directions

  1. Season lamb with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides but still pink in the center, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  2. Add butter to the pan, then onion, jalapeño, ginger, garlic, rosemary and berbere; cook, stirring often, until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add tomato and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomato is tender, about 3 minutes.

  3. Stir in water. Add the lamb to the sauce and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
