Lamb Stew With Black Mustard Seeds Food

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.

RACK OF LAMB WITH MUSTARD SEED CRUST

Steps:

• Well in advance (anywhere from 2 hours to a week) of making the lamb, combine the butter, yolks, bread crumbs, rosemary, mustard seed and Dijon mustard in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until thoroughly mixed. Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap. Using a spatula, spoon the mustard crust mixture into the pan, smooth the surface, and place in the refrigerator. Allow to chill until solid.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees.
• Season the lamb with the salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Place the racks, meat side down, in the skillet, and brown for 2 to 3 minutes to a crispy brown coating. Turn over. Cook 1 minute more on the bone side. Remove from the saute pan or skillet, and place in a roasting pan. Place the racks in the oven and cook 8 to 10 minutes for medium rare.
• While the lamb is roasting, remove the mustard crust by lifting the plastic wrap out of the loaf pan. You should now have a slab of seasoned mustard crust. Cut the loaf of herb butter into 1/2 inch thick slices. Refrigerate them until the lamb has cooked for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the lamb from the oven, lay the slabs of seasoned mustard crust on the meat side of the lamb, and press the butter with your finger tips to help it to adhere to the meat. Return the lamb to the oven for 5 minutes more to allow the butter to form a crust. Remove the racks from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing into individual chops or 4rib rack portions.
