Bon Appetit Lamb Stock Recipes

Steps:

• Holding knife parallel to work surface, cut lamb lengthwise, following seam where bone was removed and stopping about 1/2" before you get all the way through. Open lamb like a book and season all over with salt and pepper. Close, wrap tightly in plastic, and chill at least 8 hours.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Open lamb and arrange garlic on bottom half, leaving a 1" border. Top with orange slices and olives. Sprinkle with savory and red pepper flakes. Close lamb and tie at 1" intervals with kitchen twine.
• Place lamb on a wire rack set inside a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast until nicely browned, 30-40 minutes. Remove lamb from oven.
• Reduce oven temperature to 300°F. Carefully transfer lamb to a large heavy ovenproof pot and add stock, wine, and tomato purée. Cover and braise lamb, basting with braising liquid every 30 minutes, until golden brown and fork-tender, 2 1/2-3 hours. Season with salt and pepper, if needed.
• Transfer lamb to a cutting board and let rest at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve with braising liquid.
• DO AHEAD: Lamb can be seasoned 1 day ahead; keep chilled. Lamb can be braised 2 days ahead; cover and chill.

Steps:

• Sprinkle shanks with salt and pepper. Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add shanks to pot and cook until brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer shanks to bowl.
• Add onions, carrots and garlic to pot and sauté until golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in all remaining ingredients. Return shanks to pot, pressing down to submerge. Bring liquids to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; simmer until meat is tender, about 2 hours.
• Uncover pot; simmer until meat is very tender, about 30 minutes longer. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Chill until cold; cover and keep chilled. Rewarm over medium heat before continuing.) Transfer shanks to platter; tent with foil. Boil juices in pot until thickened, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon over shanks.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• In a roasting pan, roast the bones and trimmings until well browned, about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Transfer the bones and trimmings to a stockpot, and degrease the roasting pan.
• Place over medium-high heat and stir in 4 fluid ounces of water, scraping up any browned bits.
• Pour these deglazed juices into the stockpot.
• Add the remaining ingredients and water to cover.
• Bring to a simmer over medium heat, reduce the heat to low, cover partially, and simmer for 3 to 4 hours, skimming frequently.
• Strain the stock into a bowl through a colander lined with a double layer of dampened cheesecloth.
• Gently press the solids to extract all the liquid; discard the solids.
• Cool.
• Remove fat from the surface.
• The stock can be stored for up to a week in a refrigerator, or longer if frozen.
