ESTUFADO DE CODERO Y VERDURAS: FARMHOUSE STEW WITH LAMB AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Place the cazuela over a medium flame. Add the olive oil, enough to coat the bottom of the dish. Add the loin and shin meat and brown.
• Layer by layer add all the vegetables. Turn and mix ingredients slowly with meat.
• Add the chorizo, black pudding and pancetta to the ingredients.
• Add the glass of white wine, saffron, black peppercorns.
• Add about 2 cups of stock or water and bring to the boil. Once the juices are bubbling turn the heat down to low and allow to simmer. Place the whole bulb of garlic in the center of the dish with all the ingredients surrounding it. The idea is to remove the garlic just before serving. Some chefs choose to keep the garlic in so they can nibble on it with bread as part of the main course.
• Keep adding the stock or water, keeping the ingredients covered all the time.
• Simmer on a low heat for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
• Serve with a salad and a crusty farmhouse loaf.

PERUVIAN LAMB STEW SECO DE CORDERO

Steps:

• In a mortar and pestle or food processor, pound the garlic, salt, cumin, and black pepper to a paste. Mix in the vinegar, and then blend in the olive oil. Transfer the mixture to a large shallow earthenware dish, and place the lamb in the marinade, turning to evenly coat all the chunks. Marinate at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours.
• Remove the lamb from the marinade with a slotted spoon, reserving 1/2 cup of the marinade. In a large heavy casserole, heat the 3 tablespoons olive oil over high heat. Brown the lamb, turning with tongs to sear all sides evenly. This will take about 20 minutes (if the lamb does not fit all in one layer, brown in 2 batches, otherwise the meat will steam rather than sear). Transfer the lamb to a plate with a slotted spoon and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium-high and add the jalapenos, onions, and salt. Saute, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes, or until the onions are golden. Add the beer and lower the heat so that the liquid is simmering. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until all of the beer has evaporated. Return the browned lamb, along with the accumulated juices from the plate, to the pan. Add the stock and stir to mix. Bring up to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer the dish, covered, for about I hour and 20 minutes, or until the meat is tender.
• Add the potatoes, cover the pan again and cook for about 20 minutes more, or until the potatoes are tender (you may need to add a little more stock or water to keep them from scorching). Add the reserved 1/2 cup of the marinade and the cilantro, stir to mix, and cook for 1 minute more. Serve from the casserole.
