Technique to learn

Pan Glazing

Reducing cooking liquid enriched with honey and vinegar until it forms a shiny sauce that clings to meat.

Instructions

Step 1: Season lamb cubes lightly with salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat.
Step 2: Sear lamb in a single layer until deep brown on all sides, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer seared lamb to a plate.
Step 3: Add remaining olive oil, diced onion, and garlic to the saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes until translucent.

Step 4: Stir in ground cumin and sweet smoked paprika, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5: Return lamb to the saucepan. Add honey, apple vinegar, and beef stock. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook over medium-low heat for 20 minutes until lamb is tender.

Step 6: Uncover and simmer rapidly for 3 to 5 minutes to reduce liquid into a rich glaze that coats the lamb. Serve warm.

Cooking tips

Do not overcrowd the skillet during searing to get a deep brown crust on the lamb cubes.
apple vinegar balances the sweetness of honey while adding authentic Andalusian tang.
