Stockholmlamb Recipes

Steps:

• Set a large saute pan over high heat and add the oil. Sprinkle the lamb with salt and pepper. Add the lamb to the pan along with the garlic and saute until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the oregano and pepper flakes and stir. The lamb is done when browned all over but still tender. Transfer to a dish and set aside.
• Set the pan back over the heat and reduce the heat to medium. Add the onions, roasted peppers and mushrooms to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until the vegetables begin to soften, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
• Deglaze the pan with the wine, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in the olives, capers and lemon zest. Bring to a simmer and reduce by two-thirds, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Return the lamb to the pan and stir together to incorporate the flavors and heat through.
• Serve the lamb with rice pilaf and garnish with the parsley.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add lamb, potatoes, onion, cinnamon stick, ginger, garam masala, garlic, jalapeno pepper, coriander, turmeric, salt, and cayenne pepper. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until onion softens, about 20 minutes.
• Add tomatoes to the skillet with the lamb mixture and stir well. Cover and simmer over low heat until lamb is tender, 30 to 40 minutes more.
• Garnish with cilantro before serving.

Steps:

• Cut off as much fat as possible so the flavours go straight into the meat. This is the longest bit.
• Skip the salt. I use as much prepared mustard, usually French or Dijon and rub it in, as much as you feel like!
• Rub in the mustard and garlic (I use more than 1 clove) on all sides and pour over a little bit of the water, gently so you don't wash off the goodies already on it. The water also makes the lamb just moist enough to dampen the next super ingredient. Sprinkle over a couple of tablespoons of coffee granules (stuff this, making a cup of coffee). Skip the sugar and leave the brandy till a little later or you'll definitely lose all the alcohol.
• If cooking in the frypan pour more water into the frypan NOT on the lamb or you'll definitely lose all the goodies. Cook on 8, (10 being the hottest) for a couple of hours. Keep checking to make sure the pan does not boil dry and turning the lamb a few times to make the flavours go all through. You can add oil at the beginning if you like. I sometimes cook the veges in with the lamb and they come out black and yummy but not crunchy.
• Shanks don't take as long as the leg to cook and are better with a lower temperature about 160C in the oven, especially if you are just cooking the shanks.
• If cooking in the oven, I use less water 'cos it doesn't evaporate as much and bake uncovered at about 180-200C for a couple hours.
