Hearty Vanuatuan Stewed Lamb Stew

Assemble the ingredients: lamb, cinnamon, flour, bay leaf, olive oil, black pepper, chili.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the lamb and cook until stewed.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Vanuatuan flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Vanuatuan accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
