BRAISED BREAST OF LAMB
This is a great way to get the most out of a cheaper cut of meat that many have forgotten how to cook. Breast of lamb is a less expensive cut, but excellent if you know what to do with it. There is excess fat on lamb breast, so trim away all you can prior to cooking. From the Fanny Farmer Cookbook.

Steps:
- The day before you are planning to serve the lamb, trim all surface fat from it. Select a heavy oven-proof skillet large enough to hold it. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
- Heat three tablespoons of the oil in the skillet. Add the carrot, celery, onion, garlic and parsley and saute until the vegetables begin to brown. Remove the vegetables from the pan, add the lamb and cook on both sides until it is lightly browned.
- Return the vegetables to the pan along with the thyme, bay leaf, peppercorns, wine and stock. Cover and place in the oven for about two-and-a-half hours, until the meat is very tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove the lamb from the skillet and immediately pull out the bones. They should slip out easily. Place the lamb on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with another piece of parchment paper and weight with a board or a dish topped with a few tin cans. Refrigerate overnight.
- Simmer the cooking liquid down until it is reduced to about two cups, then strain and degrease it. You will need a third of a cup of this liquid; the rest can be frozen for another use.
- Mix the one-third cup of lamb liquid with the remaining ingredients except for the mache to make a sauce.
- To serve, cut the lamb into squares, strips or triangles. Broil or grill the pieces of lamb on each side until warmed and lightly seared. Serve with some of the leaves of mache on the side and drizzle the sauce on top.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275F.
- Rub both sides of lamb shoulder chops with 1 to 2 garlic cloves, as needed. Rub with chopped herbs and season with salt and pepper. Dust both sides of chops with flour. In a large (10-inch) cast iron skillet, heat oil over high heat. When nearly smoking, add 2 lamb chops and sear, 4 minutes each side, until well-browned. Remove and repeat with remaining chops. Discard fat that has accumulated in pan.
- In skillet layer onions, half of tomato slices and lamb chops. Top with remaining tomato slices and pour wine and 1/2 cup water over. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add remaining 4 garlic cloves, bay leaves, thyme sprigs and parsley stems. Cover pan loosely with aluminum foil and roast for 3 hours.
- Cover top with potato slices, pushing them into liquid so they are completely submerged. Cover pan, return to oven and cook 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Using a large spoon, remove excess liquid and any fat from stew to a small saucepan. Bring liquid to a boil over high heat and boil rapidly until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Before serving, broil lamb under a preheated broiler, 5 minutes or until potatoes are well-browned. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with sauce.

- Brown the lamb before braising: Browning the lamb in a hot skillet before braising helps to develop its flavor and color.
- Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what will flavor the lamb, so make sure to use a liquid that you enjoy the taste of. Some good options include red wine, chicken broth, or beef broth.
- Add vegetables to the braising liquid: Vegetables will add flavor and nutrients to the braised lamb. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and garlic.
- Braise the lamb until it is fall-apart tender: The lamb should be cooked until it is fall-apart tender, which will take about 2-3 hours. Use a fork or a knife to check the tenderness of the lamb.
Conclusion:
Braised breast of lamb is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Serve it with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite side dish.
