Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

25 g drippings
1 1/2 kg lamb, cubed
2 sprigs rosemary
4 sage leaves
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 teaspoons plain flour
7 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2/3 cup white wine
4 anchovy fillets, salted

Steps:

  • Heat the drippings in a large casserole pan over a medium heat. When it is smoking hot, add the lamb and brown all over.
  • Add the herbs and garlic to the casserole and season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat everything in the fat.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the meat and cook over a high heat for a minute or two, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  • Add the vinegar and wine, and allow the liquid to bubble up, scraping up the bits from the bottom of the casserole.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer the lamb for about 40 minutes until the meat is tender.
  • Just before serving take a ladle of juices from the pan, and mash the anchovy fillets into it before pouring back over the lamb.
