Time 2h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 pounds lamb stew meat, in 1 1/2-inch cubes
3 medium onions, sliced
3 carrots, slivered and cut in 1 1/2-inch lengths
2 celery stalks, slivered and cut in 1 1/2-inch lengths
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups dry red wine
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup raisins
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat two tablespoons oil in a heavy casserole. Add the lamb, a little at a time, and brown pieces on both sides, removing as they brown.
  • Add remaining oil to the casserole and add the onions, carrots, celery and garlic and saute over medium heat until vegetables are lightly browned. Stir in flour and cook a minute or so, then stir in wine.
  • Return the meat to the pan, stir, then add the remaining ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Cover and simmer until the lamb is tender, about two hours. Check seasonings before serving.
