Herby Sierra Leonean Simmered Lamb Dumplings

Assemble the ingredients: lamb, bell pepper, garlic, coriander, bay leaf, cinnamon, turmeric.

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

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Sierra Leonean 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 Sierra Leonean accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
