INSTRUCTIONS
GARNISH
Preheat oven to 450 degrees and set oven racks in middle and lower thirds
of oven.
In a large bowl toss tomatoes and eggplant with 1 tablespoon oil and salt
and pepper to taste. In a large shallow baking pan arrange tomatoes and
eggplant in one layer. In bowl, toss bell peppers, onions, and carrots with
1 tablespoon oil and salt and pepper to taste. In another large shallow
baking pan arrange pepper mixture in one layer.
Roast vegetables in middle and lower thirds of oven, stirring occasionally
and switching pans halfway through roasting, until golden brown and tender,
about 20 minutes. If desired, peel tomatoes.
Pat lamb dry and season with salt and pepper. While vegetables are
roasting, in a large heavy kettle (about 8 quart capacity) heat 1
tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and
brown lamb in 2 batches, transferring with a slotted spoon to a bowl.
Add remaining tablespoon oil to kettle and cook squash, garlic, and spices
over moderate heat, stirring, 2 minutes. Return lamb to kettle and add
roasted vegetables and broth. Bring stew to a boil and simmer, covered, 1
hour.
Stir in quinoa and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes, or
until quinoa is tender. Discard cinnamon sticks and add water to thin stew
if desired. Serve stew garnished with almonds.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
