Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb: Opt for lamb from pasture-raised animals for a tender and flavorful dish. Look for cuts with some fat, as this will add richness and prevent the meat from drying out during cooking.
  • Use a variety of spices: Croatian lamb tingul typically includes a blend of spices, such as paprika, garlic, black pepper, and rosemary. Experiment with different combinations to create a flavor profile that suits your taste.
  • Brown the lamb before stewing: This step helps to develop the meat's flavor and create a delicious fond in the pot. Be sure to sear the lamb over high heat until it is well-browned on all sides.
  • Use a quality wine: The wine you use in the stew will have a significant impact on the final flavor. Choose a dry white wine or a light red wine that you enjoy drinking.
  • Simmer the stew low and slow: This allows the flavors to meld and the meat to become fall-off-the-bone tender. Plan on simmering the stew for at least 1 1/2 hours, or until the lamb is cooked through.
  • Serve with traditional sides: Croatian lamb tingul is often served with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or dumplings. These sides help to soak up the delicious sauce and round out the meal.
