Lamb Stew With White Beans image

Taken from The New Portuguese Table by David Leite http://leitesculinaria.com . I love working out of this book! The recipes are laid out beautifully, and work very well. This lamb stew is full of hearty flavorful ingredients, sure to fill you up on a cool evening or after a hard day's work. This takes a couple of hours, plus marinating time; but is well worth the time invested!

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 lbs lamb shoulder, excess fat and sinew removed, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
1 1/2 cups orange juice
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 piece ginger, 4 inches long peeled and grated
1 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more if needed
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups beef stock
1 1/2 cups dried navy beans, rinsed and soaked overnight or 3 cups canned cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
8 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices
3 bay leaves
2 cinnamon sticks (3 inches each)
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
1 star anise
2 teaspoons coriander seeds, crushed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cups canned chopped tomatoes, drained and cut into small pieces
fresh flat leaf parsley, to garnish

Steps:

  • Toss the lamb with the orange juice, garlic, ginger, and mint in a large bowl. Let marinate, covered, in the fridge for 4 hours.
  • Dump the lamb into a colander set over a bowl to catch the marinade. Reserve the liquid. Dry the lamb very well with paper towels; if you don't, the pieces will steam, not sear. Generously season the lamb with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until very hot. Working in 3 or 4 batches, sear the lamb pieces, stirring occasionally, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl. Return all the lamb to the pot, sprinkle with the flour, and stir to combine. Pour in the reserved marinade and the stock. Add the drained soaked beans (if using canned beans, add them in the next step), the carrots, bay leaves, cinnamon, oregano, star anise, coriander seeds, cumin, lemon zest, and lemon juice, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1ΒΌ hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Spoon in the tomatoes and the canned beans, if using. Continue simmering, uncovered if the stew is thin, until the lamb is tender and the beans are soft but still hold their shape, 15 to 20 minutes more. Toss out the bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, and star anise. Take a taste and season the stew with salt and pepper, if needed.
  • To serve, ladle into bowls and speckle with parsley.

I would give this stew a 4 out of 5 stars. It was easy to make and very flavorful. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more spice.

I made this stew in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. The meat was fall-apart tender and the beans were creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This stew was a bit too thick for my taste. I would recommend adding more liquid next time.

I found this stew to be a bit bland. I added some extra salt and pepper to taste, and it was much better.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

This lamb stew with white beans was a hit with my family! The meat was fall-apart tender and the beans were creamy and flavorful. I especially loved the addition of the diced tomatoes and fresh herbs, which gave the stew a bright and vibrant flavor.
