Technique to learn

braising

Slowly cooking seared meat covered in a rich aromatic broth to break down tough fibers into tender bites.

Instructions

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a heavy Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Step 2: Season lamb cubes with salt and black pepper, then sear in batches until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes, and transfer to a plate.
Step 3: Reduce heat to medium, add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 4 minutes until softened.

Step 4: Stir in ground ginger and the steeped saffron liquid, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 5: Return lamb to the pot, pour in beef broth, bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat to low for 35 minutes until meat is tender.

Step 6: Fold in green peas and halved artichoke hearts, simmering uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes until vegetables are heated through and sauce thickens.

Step 7: Season sauce with salt to taste and serve hot alongside crusty flatbread or couscous.

Cooking tips

Steeping saffron threads in warm water first unlocks maximum golden color and aroma before adding to the stew.
