Turkish Walnut Lamb

If you like nuts, you will probably enjoy this dish. The taste is hard to describe, it's like nothing i've ever had before -- a little bit nutty, a little bit sweet, a little bit savoury. Goes great with mean chef's perfect rice (#53520). Serves two very hungry people, or more with a salad.

Steps

Saute the onions in the butter for a couple minutes.
Add the lamb and continue lightly frying until the pieces start to brown.
Add the stock , cover and simmer gently for 1 / 2 hour.
Meanwhile , prepare the sauce by stirring the water into the ground walnuts.
Add the pomegranate syrup and sugar and simmer gently over a low heat for 10 minutes.
Add the walnut sauce to the lamb , along with the seasonings and lemon juice.
Continue to simmer , covered , over a low heat for another 30 minutes.
Adjust the seasonings by adding a little sugar if the dish is too sour or more pomegranate syrup if it is too sweet.
Serve with basmati rice.
