Braised Lamb Ingredients

Method

Braised Lamb Directions

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

Sauté Vegetables

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

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

Combine Ingredients

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

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

Serve

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