Best 7 Lamb Stew With Butternut Squash Recipes

MOROCCAN LAMB AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH STEW

Steps:

• Season the lamb with salt and pepper. In a large pot heat the oil over medium high heat, then brown the lamb on all sides, about 6 minutes in all. Transfer the lamb to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add the onions and garlic to the same pan and sauté for about 5 minutes over medium heat until the onions are tender and lightly golden.
• Add the ginger, coriander, cinnamon and red pepper flakes to the pot and stir so that the onion is coated with the spices. Add the tomatoes and the water, return the lamb to the pot, and bring to a simmer over medium high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and keep it at a low simmer for about 2 hours, until the lamb is almost tender. Add the squash and simmer for another 45 minutes until the lamb is very tender and the squash is cooked through.
• Sprinkle over or stir in the parsley and serve hot.

LAMB STEW WITH CHICKPEAS AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Combine the spices and salt in a bowl. In a large bowl, stir together 1/4 cup flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the spice mixture, add the lamb and coat well. Heat 3 teaspoons of oil in a large pot. Add lamb a few pieces at a time; don't overcrowd. Turn the pieces until lamb is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch; add a teaspoon of oil as needed between batches.
• Remove the lamb and set aside. Add the remaining teaspoon of oil and the onion to the pot. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 15 seconds. Stir in the lamb and remaining spice mixture. Stir in the chicken broth and bring to a boil, then reduce to a slow simmer. Cover and cook until the lamb is tender, about 1 hour. Stir in the squash and chickpeas and cook, covered, for 10 minutes.
• Stir 3 tablespoons of the cooking liquid into 2 tablespoons of flour to make a smooth paste. Stir the paste into the stew and cook until the broth thickens and the squash is tender, about 10 minutes longer. Add salt and pepper to taste. Divide among 4 bowls, garnish with cilantro and serve.

BEEF AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH STEW

Steps:

• In a large soup pot heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, rosemary, and thyme and saute until the onions are tender, about 2 minutes. Toss the beef cubes in salt and pepper and flour. Turn up the heat to med-high and add the beef to the pot. Cook until the beef is browned and golden around the edges, about 5 minutes. Add the Marsala wine. Using a wooden spoon, gently stir up all the brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Add the butternut squash and sun-dried tomatoes and stir to combine. Add enough beef broth to just cover the beef and squash. Bring the stew to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Season the stew with additional salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Serve with crusty bread alongside.

Cover Dutch oven with an oven-proof lid.

LAMB, SQUASH & APRICOT TAGINE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole dish, add the onion and cook for 5 mins until softened. Add the garlic and spices and cook for a couple mins more, stirring to prevent them catching and burning.
• Add the lamb, squash and apricots to the casserole, pour over the tomatoes and stock, season well and bring to the boil. Put the lid on and transfer to the oven. After 1 hr, stir the tagine and return to the oven, uncovered, for a further 30 mins.
• Check the seasoning. Sprinkle over the zest and coriander, and serve in warm bowls with couscous and yogurt.

LAMB SHANKS WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat half the olive oil in a large pot or stove-top safe casserole dish.
• Season the lamb shanks with salt and pepper, add them to the casserole and brown well. Transfer the shanks to a plate.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and arrange two racks in the oven, one to hold the casserole and one to hold a baking sheet with the squash.
• Add the unpeeled garlic cloves, celery, carrots and onion to the casserole. Cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Add the wine and boil over high heat until the liquid is very syrupy, about 10 minutes.
• Return the shanks to the casserole and add the stock and orange zest. Bring to a simmer.
• Cover the casserole and braise the shanks in the oven for 2-3 hours until the meat is very tender. Turn the shanks from time to time as they cook.
• Meanwhile, on a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the squash with the remaining 2 Tbsp of olive oil.
• Season with salt and pepper and bake in the oven (along with the lamb) for about an hour, or until tender.
• In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic with the parsley and lemon zest (the "gremolata"). Set aside.
• Remove the shanks from the oven and transfer to a plate. Pass the sauce through a coarse strainer, pressing hard on the vegetables. Discard the vegetable pulp. Skim the fat from the surface of the sauce.
• Return the sauce to the casserole, season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil over moderately high heat until the sauce thickens as much as you like. I boil it for at least 10 minutes.
• Add the lamb shanks and squash; simmer just until warmed through. Add the cannellini beans if using, cover and remove from heat.
• Let stand for a few minutes to allow for the flavors to blend.
• Spoon the vegetables and sauce into 2 large shallow bowls and set the lamb shanks on top.
• Garnish with the gremolata and serve.
