If you got little time to spare, make this easy one pot minced lamb stew. A dash of Ceylon Cinnamon takes out the gamey taste of lamb and adds a deep flavor. Adding the potatoes and carrots gives it texture and makes it go further especially if you have a family of four to feed. The tomato and ceylon cinnamon creates a savory base note. The fresh garlic, ginger, cumin and coriander adds a hearty warmth. Serve over rice.

WHY CEYLON CINNAMON

Unlike ordinary Cassia Cinnamon you find in the stores, Ceylon Cinnamon has low Coumarin levels, so it won't damage your liver, especially if you are a regular Cinnamon tea drinker. Besides Ceylon Cinnamon is mild, yet slightly sweeter. It is not spicy like store bought Cassia Cinnamon, but has hints of cloves and citrus with wonderful subtle aroma.

Ceylon Cinnamon is subtle and adds to create a more complex flavors. You would never know there is Ceylon Cinnamon in this dish, unlike Cassia Cinnamon which tends to be harsh and immediately makes its presence felt and often ruins the recipe.
