LAMB, MUSHROOM, AND BARLEY CASSEROLE



Lamb, Mushroom, and Barley Casserole image

Something to make when you have some leftover roast or shanks, this is a meal-in-one dish that can be eaten right from the individual small casserole dish it is baked in.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup barley
1 1/2 cups lamb broth (see headnote, page 199) or leftover lamb gravy or pan juice with water
2 teaspoons butter or vegetable oil
1 shallot, or 1/2 small onion, chopped fine
3 or 4 mushrooms, quartered
A splash of white wine
1/2-3/4 cup cooked lamb, cut into bite-sized pieces
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
A scattering of chopped fresh parsley mixed with a little savory or marjoram, fresh or dried
1 tablespoon breadcrumbs
A drizzle of olive oil

Steps:

  • Simmer the barley in a small pot with most of the lamb broth, checking occasionally to see that the liquid has not boiled away, and adding more as needed. After 35-40 minutes, most of the liquid should be absorbed and the barley tender. Set aside. Meanwhile, heat the butter or oil in a small pan, and sauté the shallot until wilted. Add the mushrooms, and cook for 3-4 minutes, tossing occasionally. Splash in some white wine, and cook to reduce a little. Fill the bottom of a one-serving casserole with half the barley, then the mushrooms and lamb pieces, and finally the rest of the barley, seasoning each layer with salt and pepper and the herbs. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top, and drizzle a little olive oil over it. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 20 minutes.

Frugal Gourmet's Beef in Burgundy image

This recipe is by Jeff Smith and was published in his book "The Frugal Gourmet". Hope you enjoy!

Provided by Queen Dana

Categories     Meat

Time 3h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 slices bacon
3 lbs good stewing beef
olive oil (optional) or peanut oil (optional)
3 cups Burgundy wine
2 cups beef stock
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 bay leaf
salt, not too much
1 lb mushroom, browned in butter
yellow onion, peeled, chopped, and browned in butter
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup butter (Roux)

Steps:

  • Cut the bacon into little strips, and blanch them with boiling water. Fry gently. Do not burn or darken the bacon. Remove the bacon from the pan and in the fat, brown the beef. You may wish to add a little oil to the pan. (Do not flour the meat before you brown it!) Brown the meat carefully and rapidly and brown it on all sides. Place in a 4 quart casserole.
  • Add the wine and soup stock; then the tomato paste, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, and a little salt. (Not too much salt, remember you used bacon.).
  • Deglaze the frying pan by putting it back on the heat for a moment after you have removed the beef. When the pan is slightly hot, put a small amount of wine in it and move it around with a wooden spoon. Add this to the casserole.
  • Bake the casserole in a 350 degree oven for 2 or 3 hours. When the beef is tender, add the mushrooms and yellow onions. Let all of this cook together for about 20 minutes and then thicken with the roux. Serve this dish with noodles or rice and a huge salad or skip the noodles and serve green vegetables instead.
  • Notes: This is an incredibly good dish. It is also very rich and not low in fat, but served once in a while it is sheer heaven.
