Lamb Potato And Shallot Stew With Tomato Chili Topping Recipes

LAMB STEW WITH LEEKS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Pat the lamb pieces dry with paper towels and season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large casserole and saute the pieces, a few at a time, until they are lightly browned on all sides. Remove to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Pour off the fat.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and saute the leeks, garlic and thyme until the leaves are soft.
• Return the lamb to the casserole and sprinkle on the flour, stirring vigorously to coat all the pieces of meat. Add wine and bring it to boil, stirring well and scraping off any pieces that have stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add chicken stock, cover and simmer gently, stirring occasionally for about an hour.
• Add potatoes and cook until they are tender. If more liquid is needed, add hot chicken stock or water. Correct seasoning, add parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Combine vegetable oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Add cubed lamb and marinate for about 30 minutes.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brown meat on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove meat and set aside. Reduce heat, add onion, and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Return cooked lamb to skillet. Mix in beer and cilantro. Season with bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Cover skillet and simmer over low heat for about 1 hour. Add potatoes, cover, and cook over low heat until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes, adding water or broth if there is not enough liquid in the skillet.

LAMB STEW WITH CIPOLLINE ONIONS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the lamb with salt and pepper. Toss the lamb with the flour in a large bowl to coat. Working in 2 batches, add the lamb to the pot and cook until brown, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the lamb to a bowl. Pour off the excess oil. Add the garlic to the same pot and saute over medium heat until tender and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the wine and simmer over medium-high heat until reduced by half, stirring to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot, about 5 minutes. Return the lamb to the pot. Stir in the broth, tomatoes with their juices, and tomato paste. Cover partially and simmer over medium-low until the lamb is just tender, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, cook the onions in a medium saucepan of boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and cool. Peel the onions and cut off the root ends. Add the onions, potatoes, and carrots to the stew. Simmer until the lamb and vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes longer. Season the stew, to taste, with salt and pepper.
