LAMB STEW WITH POTATOES AND CARROTS



Lamb Stew With Potatoes and Carrots image

Provided by Christopher Idone

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 4h30m

Yield Six to eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 pounds lamb shoulder and breast, boned and trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 cups lamb stock or half lamb and half veal stock (see note below)
1/2 teaspoon crushed dried sage
2 ounces Scotch (optional)
4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and quartered lengthwise
2 bunches finger carrots, scraped
1 pint pearl onions
4 small turnips
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
  • In a large skillet melt two tablespoons of butter with one tablespoon of oil over high heat. Season one-third of the lamb pieces with the salt and pepper and brown the meat on all sides until lightly crusted, about 10 minutes. Place the browned meat pieces in a large casserole or Dutch oven and reserve. Pour off the fat from the skillet. Add one cup of stock and bring to a boil and deglaze the pan by scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour the boiled stock into the casserole and repeat the process two more times until the meat and three cups of stock have been used.
  • Add the remaining cup of stock to the casserole. Add the sage and Scotch and cover and bake for one-and-a-half hours. Allow to cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and remove the casserole from the refrigerator. Skim off the residue of cold fat and place the casserole, covered, in the oven and bake for 30 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
  • In a pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook the potatoes for 10 minutes or until slightly resistant when pierced with a knife. Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the carrots to the boiling water and cook for four minutes or until slightly resistant when pierced with a knife. Drain and set aside. When the stew has baked for 30 minutes, add the partially cooked potatoes and carrots to the stew for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, trim the pearl onions and cut an "X" at the base of each. Bring a pan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the onions and cook until tender, about eight minutes. Drain and rinse the onions under cold running water. Drain again and remove the outer skins. Set aside.
  • Peel the turnips and cut in half and into one-quarter-inch wedges. Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the turnip wedges and cook until crisp tender, about four minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Drain again and set aside.
  • In a medium saute pan, melt the remaining two tablespoons of butter over medium heat and add the onions and turnips. Sprinkle with the sugar and continue to cook until the onions and turnips are golden and caramelized, tossing often. About 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Ladle the stew meats, potatoes and carrots onto heated plates or soup plates with some of the sauce. Divide the onions and turnips among the plates and sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

For braised beef:
5 pounds boneless beef chuck (not lean), cut into 2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 carrots, quartered
3 celery ribs, quartered
2 medium onions, quartered
1 head garlic, halved crosswise
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1 (750-ml) bottle dry red wine (about 3 3/4 cups)
2 Turkish bay leaves or 1 California
2 thyme sprigs
3 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
3 cups water
For potatoes and carrots:
2 1/2 pounds small white boiling potatoes
1 1/2 pounds carrots
Equipment: a wide 6-to 8-quart heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid
Accompaniment: crusty bread

Steps:

  • Braise beef:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
  • Pat beef dry and season with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
  • Heat oil in pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then brown meat, without crowding, in 3 batches, turning, about 8 minutes per batch. Transfer to a platter.
  • Reduce heat to medium, then add carrots, celery, onions, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned, about 12 minutes.
  • Push vegetables to one side of pot. Add tomato paste to cleared area and cook paste, stirring, 2 minutes, then stir into vegetables.
  • Add vinegar and cook, stirring, 2 minutes.
  • Stir in wine, bay leaves, and thyme and boil until wine is reduced by about two thirds, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Add broth to pot along with water, beef, and any juices from platter and bring to a simmer. Cover and braise in oven until meat is very tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
  • Set a large colander in a large bowl. Pour stew into colander. Return pieces of meat to pot, then discard remaining solids. Let cooking liquid stand 10 minutes.
  • Cook potatoes and carrots:
  • While beef braises, peel potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges. Slice carrots diagonally (1-inch).
  • Add potatoes and carrots to stew (make sure they are submerged) and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until potatoes and carrots are tender, about 40 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes. Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as Russets, and are less likely to fall apart in the stew.
  • Cut the potatoes and carrots into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Sauté the vegetables before adding the liquid. This will help them develop flavor and color.
  • Use a flavorful broth. Chicken broth or vegetable broth will add more flavor to the stew than water.
  • Season the stew to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are good starting points, but you can also add other spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
  • Let the stew simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to become tender.
  • Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Potato and carrot stew is a hearty, flavorful meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious stew that your whole family will enjoy.
