Steps:

• Prep the lamb: Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven on high heat. Add the butter. Foam it. Let it subside. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Sear on all sides in a hot pan, in batches if need be, until all of it is deep, dark brown. When browned, remove from the pan with the tongs and set aside.
• Cook the stew: Add the bacon to the still-hot pan and cook until it's crispy and has rendered out its fat. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside.
• Discard most of the fat and then add the onion, celery, and garlic to the pan. Cook over medium-high heat until the vegetables have caramelized (browned), about 5 minutes. Using the wooden spoon, stir in the tomato paste and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook for an additional minute. Stir in the wine and scrape up all that brown stuff.
• Bring the wine to a boil, reduce by half, then add the stock (and a teaspoon of demi-glace if you have any). Bring back to a boil and reduce immediately to a simmer. Add the lamb, carrot, bouquet garni, orange zest, and bacon. Season with salt and pepper, cover the pot, and simmer over low heat for about 90 minutes, occasionally skimming the fat from the surface of the stew.
• After 90 minutes, add the potatoes to the stew and cook until they are tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Skim the stew a final time, making sure there's no film of fat floating on the surface, then serve in a big old bowl, garnished with the chopped parsley.

Flour beef lightly and brown in butter-fat mixture, turning to brown evenly on all sides. Return salt pork to pan with pork skin, onions, garlic, carrots, ground cloves, thyme and bay leaf. Pour on warmed cognac and ingnite. Extinguish flames by pouring on wine and water. Bring to a boil, add salt and pepper to taste. Cover pan and simmer on low heat (or cook very slowly in a 275°F. oven) for 8 hours. The liquid must never return to the boiling point. Serve with parsleyed boiled potatoes. With this, drink the same red wine used for cooking, Burgundy or a Pinot Noir.
