Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound well-trimmed lamb shoulder meat or shoulder chops, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
6 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
2 3x1/2-inch strips orange peel (orange part only)
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
1 cup Chianti or Sangiovese wine
10 Kalamata olives or other brine-cured black olives, pitted, halved
1 cup orzo (rice-shaped pasta), freshly cooked

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over high heat. Sprinkle lamb with salt and pepper. Add lamb to pot; sauté until light brown, about 5 minutes. Add next 5 ingredients; sauté until onion is golden, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes with juices and wine; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until lamb is tender, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
  • Add olives to stew; simmer uncovered until sauce reduces and thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Season lamb stew with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and keep refrigerated. Rewarm over medium heat, adding water by tablespoonfuls to thin sauce if desired.) Divide orzo among 4 plates. Top with lamb stew and serve.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.
