Number Of Ingredients 16

½ pound dried great Northern beans, sorted and rinsed
1 onion, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 ¼ pounds ground lamb
3 carrots, peeled and diced
3 stalks celery, diced

Increase the heat to medium, and add lamb; cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in carrots and celery, and cook for 1 minute.

Categories     Lamb     Instant Pot     Onion     Garlic     Red Wine     Rosemary     Bean     Spinach     Lemon

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
4 bone-in lamb shoulder chops (about 1 1/2 lb.)
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, peeled, crushed
1/4 cup red wine
4 large sprigs rosemary
2 (14.5-oz.) cans white beans, such as cannellini, navy, or butter, drained, rinsed
1 bunch mature spinach, tough stems removed
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Lemon wedges and crusty bread (for serving; optional)
Special Equipment
An Instant Pot or pressure cooker

Steps:

  • Pour 2 Tbsp. oil into Instant Pot and heat on Sauté setting on high until shimmering. Season lamb chops on all sides with pepper and 1 1/2 tsp. salt. Working in two batches, cook lamb in Instant Pot until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add onion and garlic to hot oil in pot and cook, still on high Sauté setting and stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Pour in wine and cook, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pot, until wine is slightly reduced and steam no longer smells boozy, 2-3 minutes. Pour in 2 cups hot water. Nestle chops and rosemary sprigs into pot, arranging in an even layer. Turn off Sauté setting. Lock on lid and cook at high pressure 20 minutes, then release pressure manually.
  • Transfer lamb to a large bowl; discard rosemary stems. Return heat to high Sauté setting and reduce braising liquid slightly while you shred lamb into bite-size pieces; remove and discard bones. Stir lamb and beans back into liquid in pot, then turn off heat. Add spinach and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and stir until spinach is just wilted. Stir in lemon juice.
  • Divide lamb mixture among bowls. Drizzle with oil and serve with lemon wedges and bread alongside (if using).

SPANISH-STYLE LAMB STEW



Spanish-Style Lamb Stew image

John Willoughby fell in love with pimentón, a smoky Spanish paprika, after a trip to La Vera, a region west of Madrid, first encountering it in a lamb stew. "The stew, rich with the slight gaminess of lamb, the tang of sherry and the smooth comfort of white beans, was brought to greatness by the subtle heat and almost mysterious smokiness of the pimentón," he wrote. He drew inspiration from the stew, making his own version at home and bringing this recipe to The Times in 2010.

Categories     dinner, easy, one pot, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 pounds boneless lamb stew meat (preferably shoulder), cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
Salt
pepper
2 medium onions, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon pimentón de la Vera, preferably picante or agridulce
1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, with their juice
3/4 cup red wine, preferably Rioja
3 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
3 bay leaves
3 cups cooked white beans, rinsed and drained if canned
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Warm oil in a large heavy-bottom pot with a lid or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, sprinkle lamb generously with salt and pepper and cook in batches to avoid overcrowding, turning once or twice, until each piece is well browned all over, about 15 minutes total. Transfer pieces to a plate as they brown.
  • Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat and add onions, bell pepper, garlic and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions and peppers are softened, about 5 minutes. Add pimentón and stir for a minute. Stir in tomatoes, breaking them into bite-size pieces and scraping browned bits from the pot. Add wine, chicken stock, vinegar and bay leaves and bring just to a boil.
  • Return lamb to pot and reduce heat so mixture is bubbling very gently. Partly cover pot and cook, stirring every 20 minutes or so, until lamb is very tender, about 2 hours. Discard bay leaves. Stir in beans and cook another 10 minutes to heat them through. Stir in parsley and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

LAMB STEW WITH DILL



Lamb Stew with Dill image

Lamb stew is a quintessential spring dish that can be a real celebration-or unbearably heavy. The difference has little to do with the lamb and much to do with the vegetables: If the stew sports color and lots of different flavors, it is lovely, almost light. If, on the other hand, it contains little besides lamb and potatoes, it becomes the cafeteria-style "Irish stew" that gave the dish a bad name in the first place. This is how it's done in Scandinavia-bright, colorful, and fresh tasting. In other parts of northern Europe, parsley might be substituted for the dill; it's just as good. Other cuts of meat you can use here: beef chuck or brisket (which will require somewhat longer cooking time), veal shoulder.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil
2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into roughly 1 1/2-inch chunks
8 shallots, peeled
8 to 12 very small waxy potatoes, washed
Salt and black pepper
2 carrots, diced into roughly pea-size bits, optional
1 cup green peas (frozen are okay)
8 scallions, trimmed and sliced, optional
1/2 cup snipped dill leaves, or more to taste
Lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Put the butter in a wide skillet with a lid and place over high heat. When the butter foam subsides, add the lamb, a little at a time. Let sear, undisturbed, for about 2 minutes, or until the underside is nicely browned. Stir, then add the shallots and potatoes. Let cook for another couple of minutes, then add the salt, pepper, and a cup of water. Stir, scraping the bottom if necessary to loosen any bits of meat that may have stuck. Turn the heat to low, cover, and let the mixture simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring once or twice during that period.
  • Uncover and add the carrots if you're using them; stir once and simmer for about 15 minutes more, or until the lamb and potatoes are tender.
  • Uncover and add the peas and scallions. Raise the heat if necessary to boil away excess liquid. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve, garnished with the dill and accompanied by a lemon wedge.

LAMB STEW WITH SPINACH AND GARBANZO BEANS



Lamb Stew with Spinach and Garbanzo Beans image

Categories     Bean     Lamb     Tomato     Sauté     Stew     Spinach     Winter     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 pounds lamb shoulder or stew meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
Garlic powder
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, coarsely chopped
1 cup 1/2-inch pieces peeled carrots
1 15-ounce can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained
1/2 cup canned chicken broth
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 10-ounce package ready-to-use spinach leaves
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Sprinkle lamb with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add lamb and sauté until brown, about 10 minutes. Add onion and carrots and sauté until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garbanzo beans, broth, tomato sauce, and lemon juice and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover pot and simmer gently until lamb is tender, about 1 hour.
  • Add spinach to stew. Cover and cook until spinach wilts, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Season stew with salt and pepper. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lamb: For this stew, use a lamb shoulder or lamb neck. These cuts are tough but have a lot of flavor. They will become tender as they cook in the stew.
  • Brown the lamb before stewing: Browning the lamb in a hot pan before stewing it will add flavor and color to the stew.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for white beans, spinach, parsley, and dill. You can also add other vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or potatoes.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour: The longer you simmer the stew, the more flavorful it will be. Simmer it for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours.
  • Season the stew to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a touch of lemon juice or vinegar to brighten the flavor.

Conclusion:

This lamb and white bean stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover lamb. Serve it with rice, pasta, or bread.
