3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the roux
3 1/2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces
Kosher salt
Pepper
2 small yellow onions, quartered
8 garlic cloves, crushed
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • In a large enameled cast-iron casserole, heat the 3 tablespoons of oil until shimmering. Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Working in 3 batches, cook the lamb over moderate heat until browned all over, about 8 minutes per batch. Transfer to a large plate. Add the onions to the casserole and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes; transfer to the plate. Remove the casserole from the heat and add enough oil to make 6 tablespoons of fat. Whisk in the flour, then return the casserole to the heat.

Stir in 4 cups of water along with the stock and whisk until smooth and simmering, then add the lamb and onion mixture and bring to a simmer.

Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley and mint. Serve with crusty bread.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds boneless lamb shoulder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 medium onions, peeled and quartered, or 12 baby onions
1 leek, white and light green, coarsely chopped
5 swedes (rutabagas), peeled and quartered
2 turnips, peeled and cut into eighths
2 1/2 cups lamb stock or water
12 baby red-skinned potatoes
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Cut the shoulder meat into 1 1/4-inch cubes and trim off the large chunks of fat. Place the fat in a heavy pan or Dutch oven over medium low heat and cook until the fat runs out, about 5 minutes. Discard any solid bits of fat that remain.
  • Season the meat with salt and pepper and add to the hot fat. Brown meat on all sides, working in batches if necessary, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer browned meat to a casserole. Add the onions, leeks, swedes, and turnips to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and brown lightly in the fat. Add the vegetables to the casserole. Pour the stock into the pan, bring to a boil, and stir to dissolve the caramelized bits. Pour into the casserole. Lay the potatoes over the vegetables in the casserole, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil over the stove.
  • Cover the casserole, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the lamb is tender and vegetables are cooked, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.
  • When stew is cooked, pour off cooking liquid into a clean saucepan. Skim off any excess fat and bring liquid to a simmer. In another saucepan, make a roux by melting the butter, then whisking in the flour until it forms a smooth paste. Cook roux over low heat for 2 minutes. Add roux to cooking liquid, whisking until thickened slightly. Add parsley and chives, taste for seasoning, and pour back over casserole. Bring casserole back up to a simmer and serve immediately.

LAMB AND TURNIP STEW WITH STOUT



Lamb and Turnip Stew with Stout image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Oil (vegetable, peanut, canola or olive, anything will work well)
2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder or leg, cut into 1-inch cubes
Kosher salt
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 large or 2 small onions, cut into 1/2-inch dice
3 ribs celery, cut into 1/2-inch dice
3 turnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 cup tomato puree
2 pints stout beer (recommended: Guinness)
1 small bunch marjoram, tied together with string
2 bay leaves
3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Coat a wide, large heavy-bottomed pot with oil and heat over high heat. Toss 1/2 of the lamb cubes generously with salt and half of the flour. Add immediately to the hot oil and brown well on all sides. When the lamb is really brown on all sides, remove it from the pot and reserve. If the oil begins to smoke, lower the heat and continue. Repeat this process with the remaining lamb and flour. Put all the browned lamb on a plate.
  • Remove the excess oil from the pot, add a little fresh oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the onions and celery and season with salt. Cook until the onions start to soften and are very aromatic, about 7 to 8 minutes. Add the turnips, stir to combine and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Return the lamb to the pan and add the tomato puree, stout, marjoram, and bay leaves. Stir to combine, taste for seasoning and adjust, if needed. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat it to a simmer. Cover the pot halfway with a lid and simmer the stew for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, checking and stirring occasionally. Remove the lid during the last 15 to 20 minutes of the cooking time to allow the liquid to reduce and thicken. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed (it probably will). When it's done, the lamb will be tender and full-flavored but not falling apart or stringy. Discard the bay leaves and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with parsley and serve.
  • That's a great craic!
