Sweet potatoes and chilies are cooked separately and added to the lamb, with the pomegranate juice and seeds. To soak up all the delicious thick broth, serve the stew over rice or thick slices of chewy bread. Boil the sweet potatoes for 30 minutes, or until they are tender. Drain and set aside. Heat olive oil in a deep, heavy bottomed saucepan. Add the garlic and saute until it is translucent. Add the lamb and saute, stirring often, until brown. Sprinkle the flour, turmeric, cumin, salt and chile powder over the meat and brown for 3-4 minutes. Squeeze the lemon juice over the pan to loosen the stuck bits of meat and flour, then add the chicken broth and 1 cup water. Reduce the heat and simmer for about an hour, until the lamb is tender. When the lamb is done, add the sweet potatoes, the roasted chile strips, the juice of the pomegranate and the pomegranate seeds. Cook for 5 minutes. Serves 4 to 6.
