Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 pounds boneless leg of lamb, trimmed of excess fat, then cut into bite-size chunks
• 2 medium cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons minced ginger root (from 1-inch piece peeled ginger root)
• 1 small butternut squash (1 to 2 pounds), peeled and cut into bite-size pieces (may substitute 2 cups pre-cut butternut squash pieces)
• 1 medium turnip (4 to 6 ounces), peeled and cut into bite-size chunks
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander
• 2 teaspoons mild or hot curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1 1/4 cups coconut milk (do not use low-fat)
• 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Directions:

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb pieces and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring to make sure the pieces are lightly browned on all sides.

Add the garlic and ginger; cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Transfer the mixture to a 5-quart slow cooker.

Add the squash, turnip, coriander, curry powder, turmeric, cayenne and salt, stirring to mix well, then add the coconut milk and broth; stir to combine. Cook on LOW for 6 hours or until the lamb is falling-apart tender, stirring once or twice during cooking. Taste and add salt as needed. Serve hot.
