from
True
Grits...
Tall Tales and Recipes from the New South
INGREDIENTS FOR THE LAMB:
6 cuts lamb shank
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped peeled carrots
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 bouquet garni of bay leaf, rosemary and basil
3 cups red wine
1 (28-ounce) can peeled whole tomatoes
2 cups chicken stock
INGREDIENTS FOR THE BARLEY RISOTTO:
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups uncooked pearl barley
1 cup dry white wine
6 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup unsalted butter
Salt and pepper to taste
TO PREPARE THE LAMB:
-
Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Sear in half the olive oil
in a Dutch oven over high heat. Remove the lamb and discard the drippings.
-
Heat the remaining olive oil and butter in the Dutch oven. Add the
celery, carrots, onion, garlic, mushrooms and bouquet garni. Sauté
until the vegetables are tender.
-
Return the lamb to the pan. Add the wine, stirring to deglaze.
Cook until the liquid is reduced by 2/3. Stir in the tomatoes and
chicken stock. Adjust the seasonings. Bring to a boil.
-
Bake at 350 degrees for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until tender, turning the lamb
every 30 minutes; discard the bouquet garni.
TO PREPARE THE BARLEY RISOTTO:
-
Sauté the onion in the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat
until tender. Add the barley. Sauté for 3 minutes.
-
Add the wine, stirring to deglaze. Cook until the moisture has evaporated.
-
Stir in the chicken stock 2 cups at a time, cooking until the liquid has
been absorbed after each addition and stirring constantly; the barley should
be creamy but not soupy.
-
Remove from the heat. Stir in the cheese and butter; season with
salt and pepper. Serve with the lamb.
