BRAISED LAMB WITH GARLIC AND CINNAMON

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 pounds lamb, preferably from the shoulder, cut into 1- to 2-inch chunks
Salt and pepper to taste
5 or 6 cloves garlic, peeled and slivered
6 3-inch pieces of cinnamon
1 cup dry white wine, stock or water
4 plum tomatoes (canned are fine), chopped
1 lemon, quartered

Steps:

  • Put oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. A minute later, add as many chunks of lamb as will fit without crowding (cook in batches, if necessary). When meat browns (3 to 4 minutes) turn chunks and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Adjust heat so pieces brown as rapidly as possible without burning. After each has browned on 2 sides, remove from pan and add another piece or two until all meat has been browned (10 to 15 minutes).
  • When all meat has been removed from pan, turn off heat and allow the pan to cool a bit. Turn heat back to medium and add garlic and cinnamon. Cook for about 30 seconds, then add the wine; raise heat to high and let wine bubble away for a minute. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for about a minute. Return meat to pan and cover; adjust heat so mixture bubbles very gently. (If it cooks too quickly, you may have to add a little water.)
  • Cook, undisturbed, until meat is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve over rice or buttered noodles, with lemon wedges.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 2-inch-thick lamb shoulder-blade chops (about 4 3/4 pounds total)
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large red onions, coarsely chopped
6 large carrots, 2 peeled and coarsely chopped, 4 peeled and sliced into rounds
1 head of garlic, unpeeled, cut horizontally in half
8 large fresh thyme sprigs
1 1/2 pounds tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups (or more) water
2 large fennel bulbs, trimmed, cored, cut into matchstick-size strips
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Trim fat from lamb and discard. Cut each chop lengthwise along bones into 3 separate pieces, leaving bones attached to meat. Sprinkle lamb with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in large ovenproof pot over high heat. Working in batches, add lamb to pot and sauté until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes per batch. Transfer lamb to bowl. Add onions, 2 chopped carrots, halved head of garlic, and 6 thyme sprigs to pot and sauté until onions are brown, about 7 minutes. Add tomatoes and stir 2 minutes. Return lamb and any accumulated juices to pot. Stir in 1 1/2 cups water. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bring mixture to simmer. Cover pot tightly; transfer to oven and bake until lamb is very tender, adding up to 3/4 cup more water if juices evaporate, about 2 hours 15 minutes.
  • Using tongs, transfer lamb to medium bowl; discard bones. Pour vegetable mixture from pot into strainer set over large bowl. Press on solids to extract as much vegetable pulp and pan juice as possible. Return strained pulp and juice to pot. Spoon off fat from surface. Return lamb to pot; bring mixture to simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter with 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced carrots, 2 thyme sprigs, fennel, and bay leaf and sauté until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until vegetables are very tender, stirring often, about 35 minutes. Discard thyme and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with sautéed vegetables.

A melt-in-the-mouth lamb dish so tender that you can carve it with the back of a spoon. Prepare to drool

Provided by Orlando Murrin

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course

Time 3h55m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ½kg boned shoulder of lamb
2 tbsp oil
1 onion , roughly chopped
3 garlic cloves , chopped
175ml dry cider or dry white wine
500ml chicken stock
strip orange zest
1 cinnamon stick
2 bay leaves
50g stoned dates , roughly chopped
50g dried apricots , roughly chopped
25g dried cranberries
25g shelled pistachios , roughly chopped
handful parsley , finely chopped, plus extra for serving
1 shallot , finely chopped
zest ½ orange
3 slices stale bread , whizzed into crumbs

Steps:

  • To make the stuffing, soak the dates, apricots and cranberries in boiling water for 30 mins, then drain and squeeze dry gently. Mix with the rest of the stuffing ingredients and salt and pepper.
  • Season the lamb well on both sides. Spread on the stuffing, then roll into shape and secure with string. Heat the oil in a large, lidded ovenproof pan. Add the lamb and brown on all sides. Remove to a plate.
  • Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Brown the onions in the remaining fat for 5 mins, add the garlic and sizzle for 30 secs. Now pour in the cider and as it bubbles, scrape up any caramelised bits at the bottom and sides of the pan. Add enough of the stock to come ¹/³ of the way up the lamb, and the orange zest, cinnamon and bay leaves.
  • Cover with a piece of crumpled baking parchment and cook for 2½-3 hrs, turning halfway through, until the meat is completely tender. Remove and wrap with foil. Strain the juices and spoon off any fat that comes to the top, then put into a wide pan and boil to reduce for 5-10 mins, until slightly thickened and rich in flavour. Season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon or orange juice, if necessary. Slice the lamb and serve with the sauce, and parsley sprinkled over.

BRAISED LAMB (SHOULDER) WITH GARLIC AND CINNAMON



Braised Lamb (Shoulder) With Garlic and Cinnamon image

Braising is a wonderful choice for less tender cuts of meat. Less tender doesn't mean less flavorful. The time it cooks, it becomes infused with the garlic and the wonderful aroma of the cinnamon. Add the white wine to the mix, and the squeeze of lemon at the end, and you come out with a favorite for sure! I like to serve mine over hot buttered noodles, but any type of rice is just as good.
