Maltagliati Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the lamb

   Season the lamb chunks with salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   Sear the lamb

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb chunks and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the lamb and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté the vegetables

   In the same pot, add chopped onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

4. 4

   Deglaze with wine

   Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to remove any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.

5. 5

   Add remaining ingredients

   Return the seared lamb to the pot. Add roasted garlic, bay leaves, and broth. Stir to combine.

6. 6

   Braise the lamb

   Cover the pot and let it braise on low heat for about 2 hours or until the lamb is tender and falling apart.

7. 7

   Finish with mint

   Once cooked, stir in the chopped mint leaves. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

8. 8

   Serve

   Serve the maltagliati with the braised lamb on top, spooning the sauce over the dish.
