Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Brown ground lamb in a large pot over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add chopped onion and ginger, cook until onion softens and smells fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, coating the meat and onion.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in broth, add whole scotch bonnet and thyme, bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer.

  5. Step 5

    Simmer 10 minutes until broth is rich and onions are tender. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.

  6. Step 6

    Remove whole pepper carefully (or squeeze its juice into the pot if you like more heat), ladle into bowls and serve hot.
