Breton braised lamb & haricot beans image

Our warming braised lamb and bean stew uses storecupboard ingredients to create a hearty family-sized dinner. This easy recipe is perfect for cold nights

Provided by Diana Henry

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 3h5m

Number Of Ingredients 13

250g haricot beans , soaked overnight and drained
2 large onions , 1 roughly chopped, 1 quartered
3 whole carrots , peeled, 1 halved lengthways, 2 diced
2 sticks celery , 1 halved, 1 diced
2 bay leaves
bunch of parsley , stalks and leaves separated, leaves chopped
6 black peppercorns
2 tbsp olive oil
1kg braising lamb (shoulder is good), cut into chunks
4 garlic cloves , finely chopped
400g can cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp tomato purée
400ml lamb stock or chicken stock

Steps:

  • Put the beans in a saucepan and cover with water. Add the quartered onion, the halved carrot and halved celery, the bay leaves, parsley stalks and peppercorns. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30-40 mins until the beans are soft. Drain well and reserve the cooking liquid, discarding the onion, carrot and celery.
  • While the beans are cooking, heat half the olive oil in a heavy-based flameproof casserole. Brown the lamb in batches over a high heat. As each batch is cooked, remove it and set aside on a plate. Reduce the heat, add the chopped onion to the pan with the diced celery and carrot and cook until well coloured. Add the garlic and cook for another couple of mins.
  • Return the lamb to the pan and add all the remaining ingredients, except the beans. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to very low and cover, then cook for 2 hrs. Add the beans 45 mins before the end of cooking time. Stir the lamb round every so often. If the lamb looks dry, add some of the bean cooking liquid.
  • Remove the lid for the last 30 mins of cooking time, and season. This helps the cooking liquid to reduce. You should end up with a thick stew of tender lamb and soft beans. Scatter over the parsley and serve.

This lamb stew is full of hearty flavorful ingredients, sure to fill you up on a cool evening or after a hard day's work. This takes a couple of hours, plus marinating time; but is well worth the time invested!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 2h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 lbs lamb shoulder, excess fat and sinew removed, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
1 1/2 cups orange juice
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 piece ginger, 4 inches long peeled and grated
1 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more if needed
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups beef stock
1 1/2 cups dried navy beans, rinsed and soaked overnight or 3 cups canned cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
8 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices
3 bay leaves
2 cinnamon sticks (3 inches each)
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
1 star anise
2 teaspoons coriander seeds, crushed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cups canned chopped tomatoes, drained and cut into small pieces
fresh flat leaf parsley, to garnish

Steps:

  • Toss the lamb with the orange juice, garlic, ginger, and mint in a large bowl. Let marinate, covered, in the fridge for 4 hours.
  • Dump the lamb into a colander set over a bowl to catch the marinade. Reserve the liquid. Dry the lamb very well with paper towels; if you don't, the pieces will steam, not sear. Generously season the lamb with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until very hot. Working in 3 or 4 batches, sear the lamb pieces, stirring occasionally, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl. Return all the lamb to the pot, sprinkle with the flour, and stir to combine. Pour in the reserved marinade and the stock. Add the drained soaked beans (if using canned beans, add them in the next step), the carrots, bay leaves, cinnamon, oregano, star anise, coriander seeds, cumin, lemon zest, and lemon juice, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1¼ hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Spoon in the tomatoes and the canned beans, if using. Continue simmering, uncovered if the stew is thin, until the lamb is tender and the beans are soft but still hold their shape, 15 to 20 minutes more. Toss out the bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, and star anise. Take a taste and season the stew with salt and pepper, if needed.
  • To serve, ladle into bowls and speckle with parsley.

STEWED LAMB SHANKS WITH WHITE BEANS AND ROSEMARY



Stewed Lamb Shanks With White Beans And Rosemary image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h45m

Yield Eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 meaty lamb shanks, about 1 pound each (your butcher should saw off most of the exposed bone)
4 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil
5 large cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 large onion, peeled and diced
4 medium carrots, peeled and diced
3 celery stalks, peeled and diced
1 cup dry red wine
1 28-ounce can whole plum tomatoes packed in tomato puree
1 pound dried Great Northern beans, soaked in water overnight, drained
8 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Season the shanks with 1 teaspoon of the salt and freshly ground pepper. Heat the olive oil in a heavy, large skillet over medium-high heat. Add as many shanks as will fit without crowding. Brown the shanks well on all sides, about 10 minutes per batch. Set the browned shanks aside and repeat with the remaining shanks, pouring off the fat between batches.
  • Place the garlic, onion, carrots and celery in the skillet and saute until softened, about 10 minutes. Pour in the wine and cook for about 2 minutes, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits.
  • Transfer the vegetable and wine mixture to a large stockpot. Add the tomatoes and use the back of a spoon to break them into small chunks. Add the remaining ingredients, including the shanks. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, skimming as necessary, until the lamb and beans are very tender, about 2 hours. If the lamb is done before the beans, take out the shanks and cover with foil to keep them warm until the beans are done.
  • Skim off as much fat from the top of the liquid as possible. Use tongs to remove the shanks from the liquid, placing 1 shank on each of 8 plates. Season the bean mixture with additional salt if needed. Discard rosemary and bay leaves. Using a slotted spoon, arrange some of the beans and vegetables around each shank. Spoon some of the liquid over and around the shank and serve immediately.

SPANISH-STYLE LAMB STEW



Spanish-Style Lamb Stew image

John Willoughby fell in love with pimentón, a smoky Spanish paprika, after a trip to La Vera, a region west of Madrid, first encountering it in a lamb stew. "The stew, rich with the slight gaminess of lamb, the tang of sherry and the smooth comfort of white beans, was brought to greatness by the subtle heat and almost mysterious smokiness of the pimentón," he wrote. He drew inspiration from the stew, making his own version at home and bringing this recipe to The Times in 2010.

Categories     dinner, easy, one pot, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 pounds boneless lamb stew meat (preferably shoulder), cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
Salt
pepper
2 medium onions, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon pimentón de la Vera, preferably picante or agridulce
1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, with their juice
3/4 cup red wine, preferably Rioja
3 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
3 bay leaves
3 cups cooked white beans, rinsed and drained if canned
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Warm oil in a large heavy-bottom pot with a lid or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, sprinkle lamb generously with salt and pepper and cook in batches to avoid overcrowding, turning once or twice, until each piece is well browned all over, about 15 minutes total. Transfer pieces to a plate as they brown.
  • Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat and add onions, bell pepper, garlic and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions and peppers are softened, about 5 minutes. Add pimentón and stir for a minute. Stir in tomatoes, breaking them into bite-size pieces and scraping browned bits from the pot. Add wine, chicken stock, vinegar and bay leaves and bring just to a boil.
  • Return lamb to pot and reduce heat so mixture is bubbling very gently. Partly cover pot and cook, stirring every 20 minutes or so, until lamb is very tender, about 2 hours. Discard bay leaves. Stir in beans and cook another 10 minutes to heat them through. Stir in parsley and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Tips:

  • When you're ready to serve the stew, reheat it over medium heat until it is warmed through.
  • Serve the stew with a side of rice, bread, or pita bread.
