Steps:
- Cut the lamb into 1 inch pieces.
- Clean the artichokes, placing them in a bowl filled with water and the lemon slices, so they don't discolor.

- Pour the oil into a large saucepan and, over medium heat, sauté the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the spring onions and cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Increase the heat to high and add the meat.
- Brown the meat until it becomes a rich, dark colour.
- Add the hot stock and, as soon as it comes back to the boil, lower the heat to medium, cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Add the artichokes, minced dill, juice and rind of 1 lemon, salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover again and simmer until the artichokes and the meat are very tender, about 15 minutes longer.
- Turn off heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, yolk, lemon juice and corn flour.
- With a ladle, slowly add the hot stock from the meat/artichokes to the egg/lemon mixture, whisking constantly.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Season the lamb with salt and black pepper; brown the meat (in batches, if necessary) on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- Cook the artichokes in remaining tablespoon oil in same pot over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until well browned on all sides, about 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer artichokes to a separate bowl.
- Add onion, garlic, and ginger to remaining oil in pot; saute over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Add cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and red-pepper flakes; cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes.
- Stir in tomatoes and juice, stock, saffron, and 1 teaspoon salt. Using the side of a wooden spoon, break up tomatoes. Add reserved lamb; bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover, and simmer until meat is tender, about 1 hour.
- Return reserved artichokes to pot. Continue to simmer until artichokes are tender, about 25 minutes; add caperberries during final 5 minutes of cooking. Season with salt and black pepper; stir in cilantro. Discard cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom before serving.
LAMB WITH ARTICHOKES AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES
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.
