Braised Lamb Ingredients

Method

Braised Lamb Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lamb

    Season the lamb shoulder with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from pot and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Flavorings

    Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes. Then, pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the lamb to the pot. Add beef broth, bay leaves, and rosemary. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Braise the Lamb

    Cover the pot and reduce heat to low. Let it braise for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the lamb is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the lamb from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the braising liquid and vegetables.
