Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds Jerusalem artichokes (about 15 small), peeled, cut into 3/4-inch cubes, and reserved in cold water (drain and pat dry before using)
2 cups coarsely chopped onion (about 1 large)
2 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger (1-inch piece)

1/8 teaspoon crumbled saffron threads
1 jar (10 ounces) small caperberries, drained
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

Categories     Lamb     Tomato     Bake     Low Fat     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 large oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, well drained, coarsely chopped (1 tablespoon oil reserved)
2 lamb shanks (3/4 to 1 pound each), well trimmed
6 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup canned ready-cut Italian-style tomatoes, with juices
1 cup canned unsalted beef broth
1 6 1/2-ounce jar marinated artichoke hearts

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 325°F. Heat 1 tablespoon reserved oil in heavy large pot or Dutch oven over high heat. Season lamb shanks lightly with salt and pepper. Add lamb to pot and cook until brown, turning frequently, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and stir 1 minute. Add canned tomatoes, broth and sun-dried tomatoes. Bring liquids to boil. Cover pot and bake lamb until almost tender, turning once, about 1 hour. Add artichoke hearts. Cover and bake until lamb is very tender, about 20 minutes. (Can be prepared up to 1 day ahead. Cool, cover and refrigerate.)
  • Transfer lamb to plate. Spoon fat from surface of pan juices. Boil pan juices over high heat until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Return lamb to pot and rewarm over low heat.

Tips:

  • To save time, marinate the lamb overnight or for at least 4 hours. This will help tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the lamb, you can still make this stew. Just be sure to cook it on low heat for a longer period of time, until the meat is tender.
  • For a thicker stew, add more cornstarch or flour to the sauce. You can also mash some of the artichokes and tomatoes to create a thicker consistency.
  • Serve the stew over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes. You can also garnish it with fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil.
  • This stew can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve it. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Lamb, artichoke, and tomato stew is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a cold night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its tender lamb, flavorful artichokes, and juicy tomatoes, this stew is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
