LAMB LOIN WITH INDIAN SPICE BLEND AND ROASTED VEGETABLE STEW WITH FRIZZLED BRUSSELS

Steps:

• Preheat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the coriander, cumin, fennel, fenugreek and mustard seeds to a spice grinder and pulse to a powder; transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the salt. Reserve a pinch for the vegetable stew.
• Toss the lamb with the remaining spice mixture to coat, then thread onto skewers. Coat the pan with olive oil. Sear the skewers on all sides until the lamb is cooked to the desired doneness. Remove from the heat and serve with Roasted Vegetable Stew and Frizzled Brussels.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the eggplant to a large bowl and coat with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and crushed red pepper to taste. Place the eggplant on a baking sheet in a single layer.
• Put the cauliflower in the bowl and coat with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and crushed red pepper to taste. Place the cauliflower next to the eggplant on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast until the vegetables begin to brown, rotating once, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add olive oil to coat the bottom of a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions and fennel and cook until translucent. Add the tomatoes and chickpeas and stir gently to combine. Add the vegetable stock, curry leaves, asafetida, nigella seeds and Indian spice blend. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Season with salt to taste. Add all of the roasted vegetables to the pot and cook until the vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. If the stew gets dry, add vegetable stock as needed.
• Preheat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Toss the Brussels-sprout leaves in oil to coat and sprinkle with salt to taste. When the pan is hot, add the leaves and cook until beginning to brown and shrivel slightly. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with nigella seeds.

LAMB AND TURNIP STEW WITH STOUT

Steps:

• Coat a wide, large heavy-bottomed pot with oil and heat over high heat. Toss 1/2 of the lamb cubes generously with salt and half of the flour. Add immediately to the hot oil and brown well on all sides. When the lamb is really brown on all sides, remove it from the pot and reserve. If the oil begins to smoke, lower the heat and continue. Repeat this process with the remaining lamb and flour. Put all the browned lamb on a plate.
• Remove the excess oil from the pot, add a little fresh oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the onions and celery and season with salt. Cook until the onions start to soften and are very aromatic, about 7 to 8 minutes. Add the turnips, stir to combine and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Return the lamb to the pan and add the tomato puree, stout, marjoram, and bay leaves. Stir to combine, taste for seasoning and adjust, if needed. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat it to a simmer. Cover the pot halfway with a lid and simmer the stew for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, checking and stirring occasionally. Remove the lid during the last 15 to 20 minutes of the cooking time to allow the liquid to reduce and thicken. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed (it probably will). When it's done, the lamb will be tender and full-flavored but not falling apart or stringy. Discard the bay leaves and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with parsley and serve.
• That's a great craic!
