Inactive Prep Time: some overnight
Cook Time: 3 hours
Servings: 6
Ingredients
1 lb boneless, lean lamb leg, trimmed of all silver skin and sinew and cut in to 1" pieces
1⁄ 2 C all purpose flour
1⁄4 C + 2 tablespoons The Well Dressed Olive's Rosemary Olive Oil
1 large onion, finely diced
4 medium sized carrots, peeled and cut in 1" dice
5 cloves garlic, minced
11⁄ 2 C red wine
1 lb dried Great Northern white beans soaked overnight and rinsed
1 28-oz. can diced tomatoes in juice
4 C beef or chicken stock
2 bay leaves
a 4" sprig of fresh rosemary
sea salt & fresh ground pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°.
Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Dredge the lamb in flour. In a large pot or Dutch oven with a lid, set over medium-high flame, heat 1⁄4 cup of olive oil. Evenly brown the lamb in the olive oil for about five minutes. Remove the lamb and add the onions and carrots. Sauté the vegetables for approximately 2 minutes until onions are translucent. Add the garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
To the same pot add the wine, scraping all the browned bits of flour from the bottom of the pot. Simmer for approximately two minutes. Add the reserved lamb, pre-soaked beans, tomatoes, stock, bay leaves, rosemary and stir to combine. Adjust the seasoning and place the covered pot in a preheated oven for 3 hours.
Remove the bay leaves and rosemary stems. Adjust for seasoning and serve the warm stew drizzled with additional olive oil and warm, crusty bread.
