Number Of Ingredients 28

1/2 cup chopped yellow onions
1/2 cup diced peeled sweet potatoes
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 pounds lamb fillet, shoulder or leg, trimmed of fat and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon Essence, recipe follows
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup peeled, seeded, and shopped Italian plum tomatoes (1 or 2 tomatoes)
1 tablespoon herbes de Provence, recipe follows
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup dry red wine
3 cups lamb stock, or beef stock, or canned, low-sodium beef broth
French or Italian bread, accompaniment
1/4 cup dried thyme
1/4 cup dried majoram
1/4 cup dried savory
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried lavender blossoms
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Season the meat with the Essence and use your hands to coat the meat thoroughly. In a large dutch oven or saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned lamb and cook, stirring, until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate, and set aside.
  • To the fat in the pan, add the onions, potatoes, and carrots, and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, herbs, salt, pepper, and red wine, and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes, stirring to deglaze the pan. Add the lamb and stock to the pan and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the lamb is tender, about 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and adjust the seasoning, to taste. Ladle into soup bowls and serve with hot, crusty French or Italian bread.
  • Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Store in an airtight container and use as needed.
