LAMB STEW

Steps:

• Marinate the meat: In a small bowl, combine the caraway, coriander, cumin, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, cloves, ginger and lemon juice. Whisk in the olive oil then grate in the garlic. Place the cut lamb on a parchment-lined baking sheet and dollop half of the marinade on top. Turn the meat over and dollop with the remaining marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours or overnight.
• Make the vinaigrette: In a small saucepan, simmer the raisins, red wine vinegar, honey, mustard seeds, orange juice, lemon juice and 1 cup water until the liquid is reduced by a little more than half and the mustard seeds are tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Whisk the vinegar mixture with the olive oil if using.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cook the lamb: Heat the canola oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, sprinkle the marinated meat with kosher salt and stir to combine. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, add the lamb pieces in a single layer and brown on all sides, adding a pinch of salt halfway through, 8 to 12 minutes. Stir in the onions and their juices, add a pinch of salt and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the beef stock. Place the skillet in the center of the oven and cook until the meat is practically falling apart, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Taste for seasoning. Allow the stew to sit on the stove and rest off the heat for 10 to 15 minutes before topping with the vinaigrette and serving.

MARINATED GRILLED LAMB KABOBS

Steps:

• For the lamb: trim all fat from the lamb and cut into 2-inch cubes. Combine remaining marinade ingredients in a large resealable plastic bag and mix well.
• Add the lamb cubes to the bag, tossing to coat. Seal bag and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, rotating the bag occasionally to continually coat the lamb.
• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat. Remove lamb from refrigerator about 30 minutes before grilling to bring the meat to room temperature.
• To assemble the kabobs: fill skewers, alternating peppers, lamb, tomatoes, onions and mushrooms until all ingredients are used.
• Grill skewers, rotating to char lamb on all sides, until cooked to desired doneness, about 7 to 8 minutes for medium-rare.

LAMB SOUVLAKI SKEWERS

Steps:

• Put the lamb into a large bowl or strong food bag. Add the olive oil, wine, oregano, lemon zest and juice, garlic and black pepper - don't add salt yet. Mix together so that all the lamb is completely coated, then chill and marinate for at least a few hrs or overnight.
• Lift the chunks of lamb out of the marinade and thread onto 10 metal skewers, or wooden ones that have been soaked. Freeze (see freezing tips, below), or heat a grill, barbecue or griddle pan if you want to eat them straight away.
• Season the meat with salt, then cook the skewers for 10-12 mins, turning, until cooked to your liking. Serve tucked into warm flatbreads with salad and drizzle with chilli sauce and yogurt.

ELEGANT BRAISED LAMB SHANK DINNER RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Season the lamb shanks all over with salt and pepper.
• Heat the canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
• Sear 2 lamb shanks at a time until a dark brown crust forms on one side, 3-5 minutes. Sear the other sides of the meat until evenly browned. Remove the shanks from the pan and set aside. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the pan.
• Add the minced carrots, onion, celery, and minced garlic to the pot. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until the vegetables are deeply caramelized, 15-20 minutes.
• Add the tomato paste and cook until it browns and is aromatic, 5 minutes.
• Add the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release the flavorful browned bits stuck to the bottom. Cook until the wine reduces by half and thickens slightly, 3 minutes.
• Add the chicken stock, orange juice, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Stir and bring to a boil.
• Return the lamb shanks to the Dutch oven, cover, and place in the oven for 2 hours, turning the shanks halfway through, until the lamb is tender and the braising liquid has thickened.
• About halfway through the lamb cooking time, add the oblique-cut carrots, Brussels sprouts, red pearl onions, and whole garlic cloves to a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Roast in the oven for 1 hour, or until the vegetables are tender.
• Right after the potatoes finish boiling, drain and transfer to a large bowl. Season with plenty of salt and a bit of white pepper, and mash the potatoes until as smooth as possible.
• Fold in the butter, sour cream, and heavy cream until smooth and light.
• Make the citrus gremolata: In a small bowl, combine the parsley, lemon zest, flaky salt, garlic, chives, horseradish, and orange zest.
• To serve, scoop mashed potatoes onto a plate. Add roasted vegetables and a lamb shank. Top with the braising liquid and citrus gremolata.
• Enjoy!
