Grandmother's Gabonese Slow-Cooked Lamb Dumplings

Assemble the ingredients: lamb, butter, potato, stock, carrot, chili, cumin.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the lamb and cook until slow-cooked.

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