MOROCCAN LAMB STEW WITH PRESERVED LEMONS



Moroccan Lamb Stew with Preserved Lemons image

This is one of the easiest stews imaginable, because there is no browning of the meat, yet the flavor is very intense. Serve with apricot couscous and a fennel, mint, and radish salad. Preserved lemons must be made several weeks in advance, but they are simple to prepare and add exquisite flavor.

Time 2h46m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 pounds boneless lamb stew meat, from the shoulder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch saffron threads
1 orange, zested and juiced
1/2 bunch cilantro, stems removed
3 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 yellow onions, finely chopped
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juice
1 cup water
1 cup pitted green Moroccan (or other) olives, chopped
Minced peel of 1 preserved lemon, recipe follows, optional
10 to 12 organically grown lemons, preferably Meyer lemons
Kosher salt
2 fresh or dried bay leaves, preferably Mediterranean

Steps:

  • Trim excess fat and gristle from meat and cut lamb into 1-inch cubes. Place meat in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix the cumin, ginger, cinnamon, and saffron; sprinkle over the meat and set aside.
  • On a cutting board, mince together the orange zest, cilantro leaves, garlic, and salt until you have a paste. Add to the meat along with the orange juice and stir well to coat. Cover the bowl and let stand at room temperature for 2 hours, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Transfer the mixture to a heavy pot, add the onions, tomatoes, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer (or bake in a preheated 350 degree oven) until the meat is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Add olives and, if using, preserved lemon to the pot. Cook about 10 minutes more, then serve.
  • Wash a 1-pint glass-canning jar and its lid with hot soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly.
  • Cut 6 of the lemons, 1 at a time, into quarters through 1 end without cutting all the way through the other end. You want the lemon to open out like a flower, but not to separate. Place the lemon on a large piece of parchment or waxed paper, spread quarters open and sprinkle flesh with a heaping tablespoon of kosher salt; put the lemon into the jar. Continue with remaining lemons, sprinkling salt on each. Pack the lemons in the jar tightly, filling it to the top (you may need more or less than 6 lemons, depending on their size). When you reach the top, lift the parchment and pour the excess salt from it into the jar of lemons.
  • Slide the bay leaves down opposite sides of the jar. Juice the remaining lemons 1 by 1, adding juice to the jar, until it reaches the top. Seal jar, shake well, and let stand at room temperature, shaking well every 12 hours, for 1 week. After 1 week, transfer jar to the refrigerator, continuing to shake every day. Lemons are preserved after 3 weeks and keep up to several months in the refrigerator.
  • To use lemons, pull out as needed and scrape away pulp. Dice peel and use as a condiment.

SPICED LAMB SHANKS WITH ORANGE AND HONEY



Spiced Lamb Shanks With Orange and Honey image

There are many ways to cook lamb shanks throughout the year, but these taste like the beginning of spring. The orange fragrance and the honey's perfume are complemented by the similarly sweet carrots and turnips. A shower of freshly snipped herbs adorns the dish just before serving. The recipe is easy to prepare in two parts: The shanks are simmered to tenderness first, which produces the broth. This can be done several hours ahead or up to 2 days in advance. Then, the bones are removed, and the meat can be finished in the sauce.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, meat, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

6 meaty lamb shanks (about 6 pounds total)
Salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 large onion, cut into thick slices
2 whole cloves
1 thyme sprig
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Pinch saffron
Pinch cayenne
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons honey
Zest of 1 orange, peeled into wide strips
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup white wine
1 tablespoon arrowroot or cornstarch, dissolved in 2 tablespoons cold water
2 tablespoons butter
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch batons
1 pound turnips, peeled and cut into wedges
Salt
2 tablespoons roughly chopped parsley
2 tablespoons roughly chopped mint
2 tablespoons roughly chopped dill
Handful of small basil leaves

Steps:

  • Cook the lamb shanks: Season shanks generously with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large pot and add cumin seed, fennel seed, coriander seed, onion, cloves, thyme and bay leaf. Pour in enough water to cover shanks, place pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Put on the lid, reduce to a simmer and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until meat is very tender when probed with the tip of a paring knife.
  • Remove shanks from pot and place on a baking sheet to cool. Strain the broth into a bowl, and skim off any rising fat. Measure 4 1/2 cups broth and set aside. When shanks are cool enough to handle, gently remove the bone from each with your hands, leaving the meat in one or two large pieces.
  • Make the sauce: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until softened and slightly browned. Add garlic, saffron, cayenne, tomato paste and honey and stir to incorporate.
  • Add orange zest, orange juice, broth and wine to the pot, and bring to a boil. Turn heat to a brisk simmer and return the meat to the pot. Simmer for 20 minutes, until broth has reduced by an inch or so. Taste broth and adjust seasoning. Add arrowroot mixture and cook for a minute or two, until slightly thickened.
  • Meanwhile, cook the vegetables: In a separate pot, melt butter over medium heat. Fill the pot with 1 inch of water. Add carrots and turnips, salt lightly, cover and turn heat to high. Cook for 10 minutes, or until probed with the tip of a paring knife.
  • To serve, transfer meat and sauce to a large, deep platter or serving dish. With a slotted spoon arrange vegetables around the meat. Sprinkle with parsley, mint, dill and basil.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of lamb: Lamb shoulder or lamb neck are good choices for stew because they have a good amount of fat and connective tissue, which will break down during cooking and make the meat tender and flavorful.
  • Brown the lamb before stewing: Browning the lamb in a hot pan before adding it to the stew pot will help to develop its flavor and give the stew a richer color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: A variety of vegetables will add flavor and texture to the stew. Good choices include carrots, potatoes, onions, celery, and turnips.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the stew. Use a good-quality chicken or beef broth, or make your own broth by simmering lamb bones in water with vegetables and herbs.
  • Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices will add depth of flavor to the stew. Good choices include rosemary, thyme, oregano, garlic, and black pepper.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour: The longer the stew simmers, the more tender the meat will become and the more flavorful the broth will be. Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours if you have time.
  • Serve the stew with a side of bread or rice: A side of bread or rice will help to soak up the delicious broth from the stew.

Conclusion:

Lamb stew with orange is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The lamb is tender and juicy, the vegetables are soft and flavorful, and the broth is rich and flavorful. This stew is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give this lamb stew with orange a try.
