White Wine Lamb Pan Gravy Food

CHICKEN FRIED LAMB WITH WHITE WINE PAN GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• For the lamb: Cut the meat with the grain into 1/2-thick slices. Season each piece on both sides with the salt and pepper. Place the flour in a pie pan and mix in the garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Place the eggs in a separate pie pan and beat. Dredge the meat on both sides in the egg, and then the flour. Repeat with all the meat pieces. (Reserve the remaining flour for the pan gravy.) Place the meat on a plate and allow it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before cooking.
• Place enough of the vegetable oil to cover the bottom of a 12-inch skillet and set over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the meat in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each piece on both sides until golden brown, approximately 4 minutes on each side. Remove the lamb to a wire rack set in a half sheet pan and place in the oven to stay warm while the other pieces are being prepared. Repeat until all the meat is browned.
• For the gravy: Add the vegetable oil to the pan. Add the white wine to deglaze the pan and reduce by half. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of the reserved flour. Then whisk in the Dijon mustard and the vegetable stock. Continue to whisk until the gravy comes to a boil and begins to thicken. Add the milk and thyme and whisk until the gravy coats the back of a wooden spoon, 5 to 10 minutes. Season to taste with more salt and pepper, if needed. Serve over the lamb steaks.

WHITE WINE GRAVY

Steps:

• While the turkey rests on the cutting board, make the gravy: Use a fine-mesh strainer to strain the pan drippings into a medium bowl, leaving behind any browned bits, or "fond," stuck to the pan. Press down on the solids to get as much liquid as possible into the bowl; discard the solids. Pour the liquid into a measuring cup or a fat separator. After all the fat rises to the top, ladle the fat into a bowl and reserve. You should be left with about 1 cup of jus. Place the roasting pan across two burners over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and 2 tablespoons of the reserved turkey fat; sauté until the shallots are soft, 2 minutes.
• Add the wine and stir, scraping up the fond from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer; continue scraping and simmering until the mixture has reduced to about a cup, 3-5 minutes. Once the wine mixture has reduced to 1 cup, add the reserved jus and enough turkey or chicken stock to bring the total amount of liquid to 4 cups; stir to combine. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer set over a medium bowl; discard solids. Wipe out any remaining solids in the pan.
• Make a roux: In the roasting pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. When melted, sprinkle in the flour and whisk it into the butter until the flour is completely incorporated and no longer raw, 1-2 minutes. When the flour begins to bubble, ladle in a small amount of the jus mixture at a time, around ½ cup per addition, whisking continuously. When the mixture looks like a paste, turn the heat to medium, and continue adding more liquid, a ladle or two at a time, and whisking. Small additions of liquid and continuous whisking are the keys to smooth gravy. Repeat the process until all the liquid has been incorporated and the gravy is thick, smooth, and velvety. (Tip: If gravy has any lumps at the end, pour it through a fine-mesh strainer to remove them.) Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour into a gravy boat or bowl and serve immediately.

EASY WHITE-WINE GRAVY

Steps:

• Reserve 3 tablespoons fat from roasting pan; pour off rest of fat. Discard burnt bits on bottom of pan (but reserve brown bits). Place pan on stove across two burners over medium-high heat. Add wine to pan; bring to a boil, scraping up brown bits with a wooden spoon. Pour contents of pan into a measuring cup.
• Heat reserved 3 tablespoons pan fat in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour, whisking into a paste. Cook, whisking occasionally, 5 minutes.
• Add reserved deglazing liquid in a slow, steady stream, whisking to combine. Whisk in stock; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer gravy, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Pour through a fine sieve into a warmed gravy boat.

SLOW ROAST LEG OF LAMB WITH WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Pour the oil into a large, sturdy roasting tin and set it over the stove top.
• Slash the lamb with a sharp knife, use one of the sliced garlic cloves, and stick slivers into the meat.
• Season the lamb with salt and pepper then roll it in the flour.
• Brown the lamb all over in the hot oil for 5-10 minutes.
• Add the onions and cook for a further 5-10 minutes, turning the lamb and stirring the onions until both are nicely browned.
• Add the garlic, white wine, stock, rosemary and redcurrant jelly, bring to a simmer, transfer to the the oven and cook for 2 hours covered, basting now and again with the juices.
• Uncover and cook for another 1 1/2-2 hours, basting again at intervals.
• Take the lamb out of the tin and place on a large board to rest in a warm place.
• If needed skim off and reduce the pan juices, mash up the onions a bit.
• Cut the lamb into thick slices - you'll find the meat falls away from the bone so you may end up with more chunks than slices.

HOMEMADE GRAVY

Steps:

• In a large (10 to 12-inch) saute pan, cook the butter and onions over medium-low heat for 12 to 15 minutes, until the onions are lightly browned. Don't rush this step; it makes all the difference when the onions are well-cooked.
• Sprinkle the flour into the pan, whisk in, then add the salt and pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the hot chicken stock mixture and Cognac, and cook uncovered for 4 to 5 minutes until thickened. Add the wine and cream, if desired. Season, to taste, and serve.

LAMB & SHALLOT GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a large saucepan over a medium-high heat and fry the shallots, carrot and celery for 7-10 mins, or until deep golden brown. Tip in the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 min. Pour in the wine and stir to combine everything, then simmer on a low heat for a few minutes, or until the wine has reduced by half. Add the rosemary and bay leaf, then gradually stir in the lamb stock. Simmer for 30 mins, uncovered.
• Strain the gravy through a fine sieve into a clean saucepan. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and simmer on a low heat until thick and glossy, about 15-20 mins. Will keep frozen for three months.
