Braised Lamb

Tzatziki Sauce

Sandwich Assembly

Fresh Cut Fries

Method

Braised Lamb

  1. 1

    Sear the Lamb

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the lamb shoulder with salt and black pepper. Sear the lamb on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Liquid and Herbs

    Pour in the lamb or beef broth and red wine (if using). Add the rosemary and thyme. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Braise the Lamb

    Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Braise the lamb for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls apart easily.

  5. 5

    Shred the Lamb

    Remove the lamb from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded lamb to the pot and stir to combine with the juices.

Tzatziki Sauce

  1. 6

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Grate the cucumber and place it in a clean dish towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out excess moisture.

  2. 7

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, dill, and salt. Mix well.

  3. 8

    Refrigerate

    Cover the tzatziki sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 9

    Toast the Buns

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place brioche buns on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

  2. 10

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with shredded lamb, sliced tomato, chopped parsley, crispy shallots, and pepperoncini.

  3. 11

    Top and Serve

    Place the top half of the bun over the filling. Serve the sandwiches warm with fresh cut fries on the side.

Fresh Cut Fries

  1. 12

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even strips to form fries.

  2. 13

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, heavy pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 14

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the cut potatoes to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden and crisp, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 15

    Season the Fries

    Sprinkle the fries with salt while they are still hot. Serve alongside the lamb sandwiches.
