PERUVIAN LAMB STEW SECO DE CORDERO

Provided by Food Network

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 large cloves garlic
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
I tablespoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
I (7 to 8 pound) lamb shoulder, bones and fat removed, cut into 2 1/2-inch chunks
3 jalapeno peppers, stemmed, seeded if desired, and finely chopped
4 medium onions, finely chopped
2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
I 1/2 cups beer
8 cups beef or chicken stock preferably homemade
6 large boiling potatoes, peeled and quartered
I bunch cilantro, leaves only, finely chopped

Steps:

  • In a mortar and pestle or food processor, pound the garlic, salt, cumin, and black pepper to a paste. Mix in the vinegar, and then blend in the olive oil. Transfer the mixture to a large shallow earthenware dish, and place the lamb in the marinade, turning to evenly coat all the chunks. Marinate at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours.
  • Remove the lamb from the marinade with a slotted spoon, reserving 1/2 cup of the marinade. In a large heavy casserole, heat the 3 tablespoons olive oil over high heat. Brown the lamb, turning with tongs to sear all sides evenly. This will take about 20 minutes (if the lamb does not fit all in one layer, brown in 2 batches, otherwise the meat will steam rather than sear). Transfer the lamb to a plate with a slotted spoon and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium-high and add the jalapenos, onions, and salt. Saute, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes, or until the onions are golden. Add the beer and lower the heat so that the liquid is simmering. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until all of the beer has evaporated. Return the browned lamb, along with the accumulated juices from the plate, to the pan. Add the stock and stir to mix. Bring up to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer the dish, covered, for about I hour and 20 minutes, or until the meat is tender.
  • Add the potatoes, cover the pan again and cook for about 20 minutes more, or until the potatoes are tender (you may need to add a little more stock or water to keep them from scorching). Add the reserved 1/2 cup of the marinade and the cilantro, stir to mix, and cook for 1 minute more. Serve from the casserole.

ESTUFADO DE CODERO Y VERDURAS: FARMHOUSE STEW WITH LAMB AND VEGETABLES



Estufado de Codero y Verduras: Farmhouse Stew with Lamb and Vegetables image

The Spanish tend to use a cazuela when cooking this dish as that is the most traditional method. A cazuela is an earthenware dish that can be used either on top of the oven over a gas flame or for baking inside the main oven. Remember, however, to cool the dish before washing, as it may crack due to extreme, rapid changes in temperature. A deep frying pan is a suitable alternative to cook this recipe, however, transfer the ingredients into a more attractive hot dish before serving at the table.

Time 3h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Olive Oil
1 1/2 pounds lamb loin and shin
1 cup peeled and thinly sliced carrots
1 cup celery, chopped with leafy tops
1/2 cup turnips, peeled and diced
1/2 cup peeled and chopped tomatoes (fresh or canned)
5-inch long chorizo sausage, sliced thinly
3-inch long black pudding sausage, sliced thinly
1/2 cup pancetta, sliced (can use fatty smoked bacon as an alternative)
1 glass (about 5 ounces) dry white wine
1 pint fresh stock or water
1 teaspoon of saffron threads soaked in 2 teaspoons of water
8 whole black peppercorns
1 whole bulb garlic, unpeeled

Steps:

  • Place the cazuela over a medium flame. Add the olive oil, enough to coat the bottom of the dish. Add the loin and shin meat and brown.
  • Layer by layer add all the vegetables. Turn and mix ingredients slowly with meat.
  • Add the chorizo, black pudding and pancetta to the ingredients.
  • Add the glass of white wine, saffron, black peppercorns.
  • Add about 2 cups of stock or water and bring to the boil. Once the juices are bubbling turn the heat down to low and allow to simmer. Place the whole bulb of garlic in the center of the dish with all the ingredients surrounding it. The idea is to remove the garlic just before serving. Some chefs choose to keep the garlic in so they can nibble on it with bread as part of the main course.
  • Keep adding the stock or water, keeping the ingredients covered all the time.
  • Simmer on a low heat for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
  • Serve with a salad and a crusty farmhouse loaf.

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 3h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 ancho chilies
3 lbs boneless lamb stewing meat, in 2-inch cubes
1 lb tomatoes, peeled seeded, and chopped (about 3 medium)
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup raisins
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 cup dry sherry
1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Prepare the chiles:.
  • Wash the chiles in cold water. Remove veins, stems, and seeds. Tear the pods roughly into pieces, place in a bowl and soak them in hot water, at least 1/2 cup, for an hour. Place the soaked chiles and their soaking liquid in a blender jar and blend to a thick puree.
  • Assemble the stew:.
  • Place the lamb, tomatoes, garlic, raisins, spices, and seasoning to taste in a heavy flameproof casserole which has a lid.
  • Add enough water to the chile puree to make it the consistency of thin cream *(about 1 1/2 cups). Pour the puree over the meat, cover the casserole, bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer very gently until the lamb is tender when pierced with a fork, about 2 hours.
  • Five minutes before serving, add the sherry. Sprinkle with almonds just before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of lamb: Lamb shoulder is the best cut for stews because it has a good amount of fat and connective tissue, which helps to create a flavorful and tender stew.
  • Brown the lamb before stewing: Browning the lamb in a hot pan before adding the other ingredients helps to develop flavor and color.
  • Add aromatics and spices: Aromatics like onions, garlic, and carrots add flavor to the stew. Spices like cumin, coriander, and paprika add warmth and depth of flavor.
  • Use a good quality wine: The wine you use in the stew should be one that you would drink yourself. A dry red wine is a good choice.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 2 hours: The longer you simmer the stew, the more tender the lamb will become and the more flavorful the broth will be.
  • Serve the stew with sides: Serve the stew with sides like rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Lamb stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. By following these tips, you can make a delicious lamb stew that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give lamb stew a try.
