SLOW-COOKED LAMB WITH SAGE AND PEARL BARLEY
Steps:
- Trim the fat from 1 shoulder of young lamb. Peel, wash, and thinly slice 4 carrots and 2 stalks of celery. Peel 4 red onions and cut into small wedges.
- Cook the shoulder of lamb
- Preheat the oven to 300°F. Heat a flameproof casserole dish with a splash of olive oil and brown the shoulder on all sides. Take it out, throw away the cooking fat, wipe the casserole dish clean, and put it back on the heat with an additional splash of olive oil.
- Put in half the vegetables and sweat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring. Add 3 squashed garlic cloves, 12 sage leaves, and 8 peppercorns, mix well, and return the shoulder of lamb to the casserole dish.
- Pour in 1 1/4 cups of red wine and reduce by half. Then add 1 1/4 cups of chicken stock, cover the casserole dish with a lid, and put in the oven for 2 1/2 hours, basting the shoulder from time to time.
- Take out the casserole dish. Remove the shoulder, wrap it in aluminium foil, and keep warm. Keep the casserole dish on hand.
- Prepare the pearl barley
- Shortly before the end of cooking the lamb, put 3/4 cup of pearl barley to soak for 10 minutes.
- Heat another casserole dish with a splash of olive oil, put in the rest of the vegetables, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Drain the pearl barley and add to the vegetables. Stir, season with salt, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Take a ladleful of the cooking liquid from the lamb casserole dish and pour it into the barley casserole dish. Let it swell with the liquid and cook for 15 to 18 minutes, adding more of the liquid as and when it is absorbed.
- Peel 12 fresh almonds and add them at the end of cooking with a splash of olive oil. Stir and check the seasoning.
- To finish your dish
- Cut the shoulder into large pieces and return them to their casserole dish. Add the contents of the other casserole dish and a generous twist of freshly ground black pepper and serve in the casserole dish.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet, or an electric frying appliance, such as in my case. Brown half of the meat in the hot oil and set aside. Add remaining meat; add onion when meat is nearly browned. After the onion is tender, two minutes or so, add the garlic to the onion/meat mixture and saute for a couple of more minutes.
- In a 3 1/2- to 5-quart slow cooker, combine the broth, undrained tomatoes, barley, wine (if using), dried dillweed (if using), salt, and black pepper. Add the meat mixture and stir.
- Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 10 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours. Before serving, stir in the roasted peppers and fresh mint. If using fresh dill, stir that in as well.

Tips:
- Use high-quality lamb for the best flavor. Look for lamb that is labeled "grass-fed" or "pasture-raised."
- Sear the lamb before slow-cooking it. This will help to develop a rich, flavorful crust.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. This will add flavor and texture.
- Add pearl barley to the stew for a hearty, filling meal. Pearl barley is a type of whole grain that is high in fiber and nutrients.
- Season the stew with fresh herbs, such as sage, thyme, and rosemary. These herbs will add a delicious aroma and flavor to the stew.
- Slow-cook the stew for at least 8 hours. This will allow the flavors to develop and the lamb to become tender.
- Serve the stew with a side of bread or mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:
Slow-cooked lamb with sage and pearl barley is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. The lamb is fall-off-the-bone tender and the stew is packed with flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
