Exploring New Flavors: Holiday Recipe

Today, I am excited to share a unique holiday recipe that combines unexpected flavors in a traditional dish. This dish is perfect for bringing a sense of adventure to your holiday table and surprising your guests with something truly special.

Ingredients:

• lamb shoulder, diced
• sweet potatoes, cubed
• pomegranate, seeds only
• orange, zest and juice
• cinnamon stick
• cumin
• coriander
• cayenne pepper

<li data-ingredient="salt and pepper, to taste

• olive oil
• chicken broth

Kitchen Tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• roasting pan
• zester
• juicer

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a roasting pan, mix the diced lamb shoulder with the cubed sweet potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, and cayenne pepper. Toss everything together to coat evenly.

Next, add the cinnamon stick to the pan for a warm, fragrant touch. Pour in the chicken broth to keep the meat moist and flavorful during roasting. Place the pan in the oven and let it roast for about 45 minutes, or until the lamb is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender.

While the lamb and sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the pomegranate and orange element of this dish. Extract the seeds from the pomegranate and set them aside. Zest the orange and squeeze out the juice, keeping both ready for the final step.

Once the lamb and sweet potatoes are done, remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the pomegranate seeds over the dish. Drizzle with the orange zest and juice for a burst of freshness and brightness.

Finally, give everything a gentle toss to combine all the flavors. Serve this unique holiday dish hot, allowing your guests to enjoy the tender lamb, sweet potatoes, and the unexpected pop of pomegranate and citrus.

This dish weighs approximately 1800g once cooked and serves 6. Each serving is around 300g. Estimated calorie count per serving is 400 calories.

One tip to make this dish even more flavorful is to marinate the lamb in a mixture of olive oil, spices, and orange juice for a few hours before roasting. This will enhance the flavors and ensure a juicy, tender result.

I hope you try this unique holiday recipe and enjoy the fusion of flavors it brings to your table. Feel free to experiment with different seasonal ingredients to make it your own!
