"This classic stew features tender cubes of lamb shoulder seared in crispy bacon fat and cooked patiently in a dry red wine reduction with beef broth. Garnished with potatoes, carrots, and fresh Paris mushrooms wrapped in a velvety and aromatic sauce with rosemary."
- The subtle breading of the lamb cubes in wheat flour is the secret to thickening the sauce during slow braising. - Reducing the red wine by half after scraping the bottom of the pan dissipates the raw alcohol and concentrates elegant tannins. - The slow cooking of two and a half hours breaks down the collagen of the sheep meat, turning it into soft and tender bites.
Prepare the lamb: Dry the lamb cubes well with paper towels. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pass the cubes in wheat flour, shaking off the excess to ensure a thin layer.
Sear the meat: Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the lamb cubes in small portions so as not to crowd the pan and sear on all sides until well browned. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside.
Sauté the bacon: In the same pan, add the bacon cubes and cook over medium heat until crispy and golden. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the fat in the pan for the next step.
Cook the vegetables: Add the onion and carrot to the bacon fat and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until soft and lightly caramelized. Add the chopped garlic and tomato paste, cooking for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Deglaze: Pour the red wine into the pan, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to release all the caramelized bits. Let the wine boil and reduce by half, evaporating the alcohol, which takes about 3-5 minutes.
Combine and cook: Return the seared lamb and reserved bacon to the pan. Add the beef broth, rosemary sprigs, thyme, and bay leaves. Make sure the meat is almost submerged in the liquid.
Slow cooking: Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to minimum, cover the pot and cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours, or until the lamb is very tender and falling apart. Slow cooking is crucial for tenderness.
Add potatoes and mushrooms: After the initial cooking time, add the potatoes and mushrooms to the pan. If necessary, add a little more broth to cover the vegetables. Cook for another 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened.
Finish: Remove the herb sprigs and bay leaves from the pot. Check the seasoning and adjust salt and pepper if necessary. If you want an even thicker sauce, see the 'Chef's Tip' about 'slurry'.
Sirva: Sprinkle with generously chopped fresh parsley before serving for a touch of freshness and color. Serve immediately while it is still hot.
