Chicken is leaner and more affordable than lamb.

scotch bonnet peppers

🥗Healthier: jalapeños

💰Cheaper: bell peppers

Jalapeños provide heat while being easier to find.

brown sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

Honey is a natural sweetener, while white sugar is more economical.

Cut lamb into chunks and season with salt and black pepper.

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the lamb.

Brown the lamb on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the lamb and set aside; in the same pot, add chopped onions, garlic, and ginger.

Sauté until onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add scotch bonnet peppers, thyme, cinnamon sticks, and brown sugar; stir for 1-2 minutes.

Return the lamb to the pot and mix well with the spices.

Pour in vinegar and stir to combine.

Add water to cover the lamb and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for a couple of hours until lamb is tender.

Check occasionally, adding more water if necessary to prevent burning.

Once tender, adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.
