LAMB BRAISED WITH WHITE BEANS AND TURNIPS
Bordeaux is more distinctive for wines than food, though its vinously sauced dishes are famous, as is its lamb from Pauillac. Indeed, while tasting, it struck me that succulent lamb, with slightly gamy fat, would best unpin the tight embrace of the 2008 vintage from the Médoc. I braised chunks of lamb shoulder in wine, gave the dish an edge with lemon zest and white turnips, and added buttery white beans, a classic partner for lamb. If you like canned beans, rinse and drain them, and add in place of the cooked beans, with the turnips, during final simmering.

Steps:
- Place beans in a bowl, cover with water to a depth of 2 inches and soak 8 hours or overnight.
- Heat oil on medium-high in a 4-quart stovetop casserole or deep sauté pan. Season lamb with salt and pepper, add to pan and brown. Remove to a platter. Add turnips and brown lightly. Remove to a bowl. Reduce heat to low. Add leeks and garlic, and sauté until softened. Stir in lemon zest, rosemary and wine. Return lamb to pan, cover and simmer on low 1 hour.
- While meat cooks, drain beans, place in a saucepan with 3 cups water, bring to a simmer, cover and cook 1 hour. Beans should be tender; if not, cook another 15 minutes.
- After 1 hour, lamb should also be tender. Remove it, leaving all liquid in the pot. Drain beans and add to the pot. Add turnips and 1.5 cups stock. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Tuck lamb back in, cover and cook on low 30 to 45 minutes, until all is very tender.
- Transfer to a deep platter and serve, garnished with rosemary. Or set aside, reheat (you may need a little stock) and serve.
