Categories     Main course

Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tbsp olive oil
4 lamb shanks
large knob of butter
2 large onions , halved then cut into wedges
4 garlic cloves , crushed
4 strips zest from 1 unwaxed lemon , plus the juice
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cumin
good pinch of saffron strands (optional)
1 heaped tbsp tomato purée
1 tbsp clear honey
400ml good lamb or beef stock
2 quinces , peeled, quartered and cored

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Season the shanks, then brown in the oil for 10 mins, or until dark golden all over.
  • Meanwhile, in a casserole dish or large pan, melt the butter. Soften the onions for 10 mins on a medium heat until they're turning golden, then add the garlic. Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3.
  • Add the strips of lemon zest and spices to the onion pan. Cook for 1 min, then stir in the tomato purée, honey, stock and half the lemon juice. Sit the shanks in the pan, then poke the quince quarters in and around the meat. (It might be quite a tight fit, but the meat will shrink as it cooks.) Bring to a simmer, then cover with a lid and braise in the oven for 2 hrs.
  • Remove the lid and cook for 30 mins more. Spoon away any excess fat. The sauce will be fairly thin, so if you prefer a thicker stew, remove the lamb and quinces to a serving plate, then boil the cooking juices until thickened. Season, add the lemon juice and serve with the lamb.

Categories     Soup/Stew     Lamb     Onion     Stew     Cranberry     Quince     Winter     Gourmet

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

For marinade
5 juniper berries
3 garlic cloves
3 cups dry red wine
3 1/2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder
2 medium onions
2 garlic cloves
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads, crumbled
1 1/2 cups veal demiglace
1/3 cup red-currant jelly
3 medium quinces (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
1 lemon
3 celery ribs
1/2 cup dried cranberries (about 3 ounces)
Accompaniment:Pistachio Couscous

Steps:

  • Make marinade:
  • Crush juniper berries and mince garlic cloves. In a large bowl stir together garlic, wine, and juniper berries.
  • Trim lamb and cut into 2-inch cubes. Stir lamb into marinade. Marinate lamb, covered and chilled, at least 12 hours and up to 1 day. In a large sieve set over a bowl drain lamb, reserving marinade.
  • Chop onions and mince garlic. In an 8-quart heavy kettle heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook onions with garlic, cinnamon, and saffron, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened. With a slotted spoon transfer onion mixture to a large bowl.
  • Pat lamb dry and season with salt and pepper. In kettle brown lamb in batches, without crowding, over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, transferring as browned with a slotted spoon to bowl with onion mixture. Return lamb and onion mixture to kettle and add reserved marinade, demiglace, and jelly. Simmer mixture, covered, stirring occasionally, 45 minutes.
  • Peel, quarter, and core quinces. Cut quarters lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. With a vegetable peeler remove zest from lemon in lengthwise strips. Diagonally cut celery ribs into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
  • Add quince and zest to lamb mixture and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until quince is tender, about 45 minutes. Stir in celery and cranberries and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until celery is tender, about 15 minutes. Season stew with salt and pepper. (Stew may be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely before being chilled, covered.)
  • Serve stew with couscous.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Quince: Use firm, ripe quince that are free of blemishes. If the quince is too hard, it will not cook evenly and will remain tart. If it is too soft, it will fall apart during cooking.
  • Core and Peel the Quince: To core a quince, cut it in half lengthwise and remove the core with a spoon. Then, peel the quince with a vegetable peeler.
  • Simmer the Quince: Simmer the quince in a mixture of water, sugar, and spices until it is tender and fragrant. This will take about 30 minutes.
  • Add the Lamb: Once the quince is tender, add the lamb to the pot and cook until it is browned on all sides. Then, add enough water or broth to cover the lamb and simmer until it is cooked through. This will take about 1 hour.
  • Serve with Rice or Couscous: Lamb braised with quince is traditionally served with rice or couscous. However, it can also be served with other grains or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Lamb braised with quince is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The sweet and tart flavors of the quince complement the rich flavor of the lamb, and the spices add a warm and inviting aroma. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
