    Categories: Lamb/mutton, Fruits, Chilies, Potatoes   
         Yield: 5 Servings   
      
     1 1/2 lb Sweet potatoes; sliced 1   
              - 1/2" thick   
         1 tb Olive oil   
         2 cl Garlic; peeled, crushed   
         1 lb Lamb stew meat   
         1 tb Flour   
         1 ts Turmeric   
       1/2 ts Cumin   
       1/4 ts Salt   
       1/2 ts Pasilla chile powder   
              +=OR=+   
       1/2 ts Cayenne chile powder   
              Juice of 1 lemon   
         1 c  Chicken broth   
         3    Pasilla chilies; roasted,   
              - peeled   
         1    Pomegranate   
      
     The lamb simmers in a cumin and turmeric seasoned broth in   
     this recipe from Chronicle contributor Georgeanne Brennan.   
     Sweet potatoes and chilies are cooked separately and added   
     to the lamb, with the pomegranate juice and seeds. To soak   
     up all the delicious thick broth, serve the stew over rice   
     or thick slices of chewy bread.   
      
     Boil the sweet potatoes for 30 minutes, or until they are   
     tender. Drain and set aside.   
      
     Heat olive oil in a deep, heavy bottomed saucepan. Add the   
     garlic and saute until it is translucent. Add the lamb and   
     saute, stirring often, until brown. Sprinkle the flour,   
     turmeric, cumin, salt and chile powder over the meat and   
     brown for 3-4 minutes.   
      
     Squeeze the lemon juice over the pan to loosen the stuck   
     bits of meat and flour, then add the chicken broth and 1   
     cup water. Reduce the heat and simmer for about an hour,   
     until the lamb is tender.   
      
     When the lamb is done, add the sweet potatoes, the roasted   
     chile strips, the juice of the pomegranate and the   
     pomegranate seeds. Cook for 5 minutes.   
      
     Serves 4 to 6.
