Lamb Potato And Shallot Stew With Tomato Chili Topping Recipes

Steps:

• In a large kettle or Dutch oven, combine all ingredients. Cover and bake at 325° for 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 hours or until tender. Discard bay leaves before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish. Add the meat in batches and brown over a high heat for 5 mins, then lift onto a plate. Tip in the onions and carrots, and cook for 8-10 mins until starting to colour. Scatter over the flour and stir for a few minutes, then stir in the tomato purée and cook for a few minutes more. Tip the meat and any resting juices back into the dish and stir well. Pour over the stock, tuck in the herbs and season well. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat.
• Cover with a lid and put in the oven for about 2 hrs 30 mins until the meat is tender. Once cooled, the stew can be chilled and frozen for up to three months - defrost completely before reheating on the hob for 5 mins over a medium heat, until piping hot. Leave to settle for a minute or two, then serve with mash and greens.

Steps:

• Combine potatoes, shallots, garlic, lemon zest, and rosemary in a 5-to-6-quart slow cooker; season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon flour and broth. Add to slow cooker.
• Place 3 tablespoons flour on a plate. Season lamb with salt and pepper, then coat in flour, shaking off excess. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. In batches, cook lamb until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes; transfer to slow cooker. Add wine to skillet and cook, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add to slow cooker, then cover and cook on high until lamb is tender, about 3 1/2 hours (7 hours on low). Stir in olives, cover, and cook 20 minutes.
• To serve, transfer lamb and vegetables to a platter. Skim fat from cooking liquid, then stir in lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve sauce with lamb and vegetables.

Steps:

• 1 In a large Dutch oven or other deep, heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid, cook the onion in the olive oil over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the lamb. Cook, stirring frequently, until the pieces are lightly browned. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the wine and bring it to a simmer. 2 Stir in the tomatoes and rosemary. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook 30 minutes. 3 Add the potatoes, carrots, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer 30 minutes more, stirring occasionally, until the lamb and potatoes are tender. Add the peas and cook 10 minutes more. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.

Steps:

• FOR LAMB: Place lamb in bowl; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add flour; toss to coat. Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Working in 3 batches, add lamb to pot and saute until brown, about 5 minutes per batch. Using slotted spoon, transfer lamb to another bowl; reserve flour remaining in first bowl. Add shallots, garlic, thyme and chilies to pot; stir 1 minute. Add reserved flour; stir 30 seconds. Add both broths; bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Add tomatoes with their juices and lamb with any accumulated juices; return to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 45 minutes. Uncover; add potatoes. Simmer uncovered until potatoes and lamb are tender and sauce thickens, stirring often without breaking potatoes, about 40 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Chill uncovered until cold. Cover; keep chilled. Rewarm before serving.) FOR TOPPING: Mix all ingredients in bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer stew to large bowl; sprinkle with topping.
