Times are estimated and have not included marinating time or soaking time for the wood-ear. IMPORTANT NOTE - I have listed mushrooms dried as food.com would not accept dried wood-ear or cloud-ear which can be bought at specialist asian grocers.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 pounds lamb shoulder, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
4 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, chopped fine
15 peeled garlic cloves, lightly crushed
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 1/4 pounds Yukon gold creamer potatoes (small), halved
1 1/2 pounds medium-sized carrots peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups red wine
7 1/2 cups chicken stock (if using canned use low sodium)
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, about 3-inches long
2 cups spring onions, root and stem trimmed
2 tablespoons Italian parsley leaves, chopped fine
1 tablespoon lemon zest
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Toss the lamb with the rosemary, garlic, oil, and the vinegar and let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • While the lamb is marinating, blanch the potatoes and carrots. In well-salted boiling water cook the potatoes for 5 or 6 minutes then transfer with a skimmer to a platter or sheet tray. Cook the carrots for 2 or 3 minutes and reserve with the potatoes.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan on medium-high heat until the oil begins to smoke. While the oil is heating, remove the lamb from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the lamb with the flour and toss to coat. Shake excess flour from the meat and add half to the pan in a single layer so as to sear the meat on all sides, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate. Repeat with remaining lamb.
  • Carefully place the potatoes and carrots in the pan used for the lamb. (The olive oil will have lots of flavor from the lamb.) Season with salt and pepper and saute until lightly caramelized, about 4 minutes. Stir from time to time and regulate the heat so the vegetables do not caramelize too much on one side. Transfer to a platter or large plate so that they can be spread out in a single layer.
  • Pour off and discard the residual oil in the pan. With the pan still on medium heat, deglaze with the wine and reduce by half then add the stock. Bring to a simmer and reduce again by half. Add the seared lamb to the pan and gently toss to incorporate with the pan sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • In a Dutch oven or large, deep baking dish, add the lamb, wine and broth mixture and rosemary. Cover then place in the pre-heated oven for 45 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes, carrots and spring onions to the stew. Mix carefully to incorporate. Add a little stock or water, if necessary, to keep the stew moistened. Continue to cook in the oven, covered, until the meat and vegetables are tender, about 10 more minutes.
  • Stir in the parsley and lemon zest. Taste and add salt and fresh ground pepper if needed. Serve directly from the baking dish.

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 30m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 lbs lamb shoulder
1 tablespoon cumin seed
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon soy sauce
salt & freshly ground black pepper
grapeseed oil (or other neutral tasting oil)
1 cup trimmed and roughly chopped scallion (optional)
chopped fresh cilantro leaves (to garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut lamb into ½-inch cubes (easier if meat is firmed in the freezer for 15 to 45 minutes).
  • Toast cumin seeds in dry skillet over medium heat, shaking pan occasionally, until fragrant, a minute or 2.
  • Toss together lamb with cumin, chili, garlic, soy sauce, a large pinch of salt and a healthy grinding of pepper. If you like, cover and refrigerate until ready to cook, up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to cook, put a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet (ideally, it will hold the lamb in one layer, or nearly so) and turn heat to high. When hot, add lamb. Cook, undisturbed, for about a minute, then stir once or twice to loosen lamb from skillet. Cook another minute, then stir again. Add scallions, if using, and cook, stirring occasionally, until scallions glisten and shrink a bit and the meat is about medium.
  • If you want a slightly saucier mixture, stir in ¼ cup water and cook another minute. Serve hot over rice, garnished, if you like, with cilantro.

STIR-FRIED LAMB WITH CHILE, CUMIN AND GARLIC



Stir-Fried Lamb with Chile, Cumin and Garlic image

Start with lamb shoulder; leg is not lean or tender enough for this treatment. You can use loin if you prefer, but the dish will cost at least 10 times as much and it won't be any better. Marinate it dry (or nearly so; I use a little soy sauce, for complexity) for as long as you like - 10 minutes, an hour, a day. The flavor will get a little stronger, though not much. More important than the length of time is the freshness of your cumin. You absolutely need cumin seeds, not ground cumin. It's worth the two or three minutes it takes to toast the seeds before marinating the meat. You can grind them if you like, but I like the little bit of crunch the seeds add.

8 ounces dried chow mein udon noodles (Asian-style spaghetti)*

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add ginger, garlic, green onions, and chiles. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add lamb, cabbage, and all bell peppers. Stir-fry until lamb is just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Stir Sherry seasoning mixture and add; simmer until sauce thickens, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Add lamb sauce to noodles in pot.

  • *Available at Asian markets and in the Asian foods section of most supermarkets nationwide.

Tips:

  • To ensure tender and flavorful lamb, marinate it in a mixture of soy sauce, Chinese rice wine, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Use high heat when stir-frying to quickly cook the lamb and vegetables, preserving their texture and nutrients.
  • Tenderize the lamb further by slicing it against the grain, which breaks down the tough muscle fibers.
  • Cut the spring onions on a diagonal for a more visually appealing presentation.
  • Add a splash of Chinese rice wine or dry sherry to the stir-fry for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Serve the stir-fried lamb and spring onions immediately, garnished with additional spring onion greens for a pop of color and freshness.
