Lamb Shoulder Chops With Red Wine Recipes

EASY LAMB SHOULDER CHOPS (PAN OR GRILL PAN)

Steps:

• Prepare the marinade by mixing all the ingredients together. Pour it in a gallon plastic bag or a glass container with a lid.
• Lightly season the lamb shoulder chops with salt & pepper and add them to the bag or container with the marinade. Make sure they are completely smothered. Seal or cover and let marinate for up to an hour at room temperature on the counter or up to 12 hours refrigerated.*
• Over medium-high heat heat a 10 or 12 inch heavy skillet for about 3 minutes. Add a tablespoon of oil. (Work in batches of 2 chops**).
• Scrape off the marinade from the lamb chops and discard.
• Cook chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Flip only once.
• If you want to be sure they are cooked medium-rare use a food thermometer. Lamb shoulder chops are medium-rare just under or exactly at 135 F.
• Remove the chops form the pan and let them rest on a plate for 3 to 5 minutes. You can cover them loosely with foil to keep them warm.
• Serve right away.

LAMB & RED WINE STEW

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
• 2. Trim the ends off the celery and roughly chop the sticks. Peel and roughly chop the onions. Peel the carrots, slice them lengthways and roughly chop. 3. Put a casserole pan on a medium heat. Put all the vegetables, bay and rosemary into the pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and fry for 10 minutes. 4. Dice the lamb into roughly 2cm cubes (if it isn't already), then add to the pan with the flour. 5. Pour in the wine and tomatoes. Give it a good stir, then season with a pinch of sea salt and a few grinds of black pepper. 6. Bring to the boil, put the lid on and cook in the oven for 2 hours 30 minutes, or until the meat is tender and delicious, removing the lid for the final 30 minutes and adding a splash of water if it looks too dry. (You could also simmer over a medium-low heat on your hob if you prefer.) 7. Remove the bay leaf and rosemary stalks, season to taste, then serve. Or finish it off with one of these toppings... TO MAKE THE DUMPLINGS 1. Preheat or turn the oven up to 190°C/375°F/gas 5. 2. Put the flour and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper into a bowl, then grate in the cold butter. Using your fingers, gently rub in the butter until it begins to resemble breadcrumbs. Then add a splash of cold water to help bind it into a dough. 3. Divide the dough into 12 pieces and gently roll each into a round dumpling. The dumplings will suck up quite a bit of moisture, so if your stew looks dry, add a cup of boiling water and give it a good stir. 4. Place the dumplings on top of your stew and press down lightly, so they're half submerged. Cook in the oven, or on the hob over a medium heat, with the lid on for 30 minutes. TO MAKE SHEPHERD'S PIE 1. Preheat or turn the oven up to 190°C/375°F/gas 5. Transfer your cooked stew to a large baking dish. 2. Peel the potatoes, cut them in half into even-sized pieces, and put them into a pan of salted, boiling water. Boil for about 10 minutes or until tender, then drain, steam dry and return them to the pan. 3. Add the milk, butter and a pinch of salt and pepper, then mash until smooth and creamy, adding another splash of milk if necessary. 4. Roughly top the stew with the mashed potato (don't worry about it being smooth and even), pick over a few rosemary leaves and lightly push them into the potato. 5. Drizzle with some olive oil, lightly coating the rosemary leaves, then cook in the oven for 25 minutes, or until golden and bubbling.

LAMB SHOULDER CHOPS WITH RED WINE

Steps:

• Put a 10-inch straight-sided saute pan over medium heat for 5 minutes. Toss the lamb with the vegetable oil in a medium mixing bowl. When the pan is hot, sear the lamb for 1 minute on each side. Remove to a plate and cool for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the meat to a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag, then pour in the 16 ounces of wine and 4 rosemary sprigs. Remove as much air as possible so that the wine is completely surrounding the meat. Put the bag in a container to prevent leaks and refrigerate for 3 hours.
• Heat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Transfer the contents of the bag back to the 10-inch straight-sided saute pan and cover. Put the pan on the middle rack of the oven and braise until the meat is tender and falling away from the bone, about 3 1/2 hours.
• Remove the meat from the oven to a platter. Discard the rosemary. Cover the meat with aluminum foil to keep warm while finishing the sauce.
• Pour the pan juices into a gravy separator and allow it to separate before pouring 2 cups of the liquid back into the pan. Set the pan over medium-low heat and add the dried plums and apricots. Simmer, whisking frequently, until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Whisk in the butter 1 piece at a time, adding another piece only after the previous piece has melted. Whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon of wine and the remaining chopped rosemary and continue to cook for another minute. Taste and adjust seasoning by adding salt and pepper, if needed.
• Pour the sauce over the meat and serve immediately.

ROAST LAMB SHOULDER IN RED WINE

Steps:

• Marinade - Crush all the marinade ingredients In a mortar and pestle.Alternatively, you can use a food processor. Just make sure to blend it coarse not too smooth.
• Sear lamb - Heat a skillet on high heat. Then, sear the shoulder on all sides - remove from heat.Pro tip - use cast-iron or metal (no non-stick pan) and make sure it is very hot before you place the lamb. Leave it for 2 to 3 minutes before you turn it to the other side. This will give a better color.
• Marinade - Next, generously rub the prepared marinade on the shoulder. Set aside. Pro tip - alternatively, you can skip the searing and marinate the meat for up to 12 hours in the fridge.
• Oven - Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas Mark 6 for at least 20 minutes.Pro tip - Make sure to thaw chilled meat at least 2 hours before cooking to prevent uneven cooking.
• Roasting pan - In a large roasting pan - add the veggies. Then, place the marinated shoulder on top of the veggies. Add a few more sprigs of thyme and rosemary to the roasting rack. Place the onions and lemons slices on top of the shoulder. Season with salt and pepper. Pro tip - Drizzle some olive oil all over the veggies. This will prevent them from burning.
• Liquid - Pour the stock and red wine around the shoulder over the veggies on the roasting rack. Pro tip - do not pour the liquids over the meat otherwise all the marinade will wash down to the pan.
• Cover - Loosely tent the roasting pan with aluminum foil. Place the roasting rack in the oven on the middle rack and reduce the oven temperature to 325°F/165°C/ Gas Mark 3
• Roast - Roast covered for about 60 minutes, basting at least once in between. Then, remove the foil and continue to roast uncovered for another 40 to 50 minutes.Pro tip - cooking covered will help keep the moisture in the pan, cooking uncovered later will give a lovely deep color to the roast.
• Time - I cook my lamb medium-rare, about 135°F using a meat thermometer. This roast took about 1 hour and 50 minutes.
• Rest - Take the roast out of the oven and loosely tent it with aluminum foil. Let rest for at least 15 minutes while you make the gravy.
• Pan - Transfer the meat and veggies to a serving platter so you can use the roasting pan to make the gravy. Pro tip - if you can't use the roasting pan, pour the pan juices into a frying pan to make the gravy.
• Gravy - Place the roasting pan on medium-low heat. Add red wine and stock and deglaze the pan by scraping with the edge of a spatula. Then, add the flour and continue to deglaze while the flour thickens the gravy. Pro tip - If necessary add a little water to ensure it is not too dry.
• Strain - Strain the gravy through a sieve of mesh to remove all the excess bits and pieces from the roasting pan. Pro tip - straining will give a wonderfully smooth gravy. You can also add 2 tbsp of butter to enhance the flavor.
• Serve - Serve with the lamb over mashed potatoes, lemon rosemary roast potatoes, lemon dill potatoes, potato wedges, and side salad like avocado, tomato, beet.
