In a large saucepan, heat butter and oil on medium-high heat, add lamb and cook stirring constantly until browned on all sides.

Add lamb to pork, sprinkle with salt and pepper, add thyme, cumin and coriander, add onions, potatoes, parsnip, turnips, butternut squash or pumpkin and sautee 10-minutes stirring constantly. Add hot water, and turn heat to medium-low and cook until meat and vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Note: If stew seems to thick, add a little more water as needed.
