Forgive my sillines but what do you mean with cooking in it's own juices? Nice recipe I always like dishes like this.
Hi Spif,
Lamb (or beef) cubes leaves its own juice when you start to cook in a medium size cooking pot on medium-low heat.
Cook until there is no more juice left in the pot. Then add the butter and......
cooking meat with its own juice saves the use of oil.. i like that process a lot because i don't like greasy food :D
Ah great, thx. I use a bit of water somtimes to start. They hang meat (even the lamb) for a while overhere so no that much juice turning up. I like these kind of recipes very light and pure even if there is meat involved. I made your 'gardeners stew' quite a few times this summer, sometimes only with some leftover stock. Very nice thank you.
this is something I'd love to try. Thanks for posting!!
This looks very good. I will try it.
I have two questions
1)How many minutes usually is it before the meat is tender?
2) After you add the 2 cups of hot water and cook lamb pieces until tender do you take out the water accept for 1/2 cups? Then you would add the pearl onions,etc. Is this correct?
Hi,
Do not take out the water from the pot. Water will be evaporated. "When leaves for about 1/2 cup juice in the pot, add the pearl onions,etc."
