Spoiled Sheepdog Lamb Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Place lamb, tomatoes, onion, rosemary, sage and salt and pepper in an ovenproof dish.
• Add the garlic, potatoes, oil, wine and stock to dish and cook covered at 190 degrees F for about 1 hour.
• Pour off the cooking juices into a pan and reduce them over a high heat on the stove-top until a sauce like consistency is achieved.
• Return sauce to the lamb.
• Sprinkle over the crumb/parmesan mix.
• Return to the oven to brown (about 10 minutes).
• Serve sprinkled with plenty of fresh parsley.

Steps:

• Cut the meat into 1/2 inch cubes. Coat in flour and brown in the shortening in a pre-heated dutch oven or large, thick-bottomed pot. Brown in batches if it doesn't all fit in one layer.
• Add the water, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
• Stir occasionally and check to make sure there's enough water. Depending on the amount of connective tissue in the meat the sauce will get very thick. Thick is good, but if it gets too thick it will burn at the bottom.
• Add onion, red peppers, and rice. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Continue occasionally stirring and checking the water.
• Add the tomatoes, peas, thyme, and vinegar. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Serve hot with some crusty bread.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300*. Trim the cabbage of any discolored outer leaves. Core it and slice it into slim wedges.
• In a large Dutch oven or kettle, layer 1/3 of the lamb, generous sprinklings of salt and pepper, and 1/3 each of the flour and cabbage. Repeat twice more.
• Pour in the beef stock, and set the Dutch oven over moderate heat. Bring the broth to a simmer.
• Cover the Dutch oven and transfer it to the oven. Bake for 2 hours, until the lamb is tender.
• In the meantime, prepare the roux by melting the butter in a frying pan and stirring in the flour. Cook for a few minutes over medium heat.
• Remove the Dutch oven from the oven. Drain the juices into a medium saucepan, skimming off the fat. Quickly whisk in the roux, and simmer until thickened.
• Whisk in the sour cream or heavy cream and season to taste. Pour the gravy back into the Dutch oven.
• Serve with cooked unpeeled new potatoes if you wish.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. In an ovenproof Dutch oven, brown lamb in butter and oil in batches. Remove and keep warm. In the same pan, saute carrots and onions in drippings until crisp-tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Gradually add broth and beer. Stir in lamb, potatoes, bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper., Cover and bake 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until meat and vegetables are tender, stirring every 30 minutes. Discard bay leaves, thyme and rosemary. Stir in cream; heat through. Freeze option: Place individual portions of stew in freezer containers and freeze up to 3 months. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally; add a little water if necessary.

Steps:

• Heat water and onion in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onions for five minutes.
• Add garlic and sauté for another minute. Add another tablespoon of water if the skillet becomes too dry.
• Add meat and brown on all sides for about one minute.
• Add tomato, spinach and spices. Cover and cook for five minutes.
• Remove lid. Cook for another five minutes, uncovered.
• Stir in butter until melted and salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve over rice.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Season the lamb with salt and pepper, add to the pot, and cook until deeply browned, about 5 minutes on each side. Stir in the onions and garlic, and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
• Pour the wine into the pot, and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato sauce, lamb stock, lemon zest and juice, oregano, cinnamon, and bay leaf. Bring back to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the lamb is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Stir in the green beans and cook until they are tender, about 20 additional minutes.
• Remove the bay leaf and any bones from the stew. Garnish stew with chopped fresh parsley.

Steps:

• Wash well and strip leaves from stems.
• Shred finely with a sharp knife.
• Combine with other ingredients and serve immediately.
• The flavour is slightly sour, slightly bitter.
