MYRA WALDO'S SWEDISH LAMB



Myra Waldo's Swedish Lamb image

Craig Claiborne brought this marvelous dinner-party centerpiece to The Times in 1958, after securing it from Myra Waldo, a globetrotting food and travel writer who edited "The Complete Round-the-World Cookbook," featuring recipes gathered by Pan American Airways. Mr. Claiborne recommended this one in a column in the newspaper four years later: a leg of lamb roasted above carrots and onions, broth, hot coffee, cream and a sprinkling of sugar. Really! The result on the plate is remarkable in the way the richness of the sauce mingles with the big taste of the lamb. All we needed to do to improve it was exchange the beef broth Claiborne used (too tinny in flavor) for some of the low-sodium chicken variety. (Sam Sifton)

Lamb Meatballs with Cucumbers and Herbs image

Flecked with coriander, cinnamon, and cumin, lamb meatballs rest on a bed of dill, parsley, and mint in this composed salad that takes cues from Middle Eastern cuisine. Serve them with a swipe of labneh and quick-pickled red onions and golden raisins-and enjoy the culinary journey. This recipe is featured in the cookbook Salad Freak: Recipes to Feed a Healthy Obsession ($26.99, amazon.com).

Provided by Jess Damuck

Yield Serves 2 to 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced
1/3 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon whole coriander seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal) and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound ground lamb
1/2 bunch fresh parsley
1 bunch fresh mint
1 bunch fresh dill
1/2 cup plain (or fresh) breadcrumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 cloves garlic
6 Persian cucumbers, halved and thinly sliced on the bias
Extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup labneh, or sheep's-milk or Greek-style yogurt
1 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine onion, raisins, and vinegar and let soak, tossing every now and then so everything gets vinegary. Put coriander and cumin seeds in a skillet and cook over medium heat, shaking skillet around a lot quite vigorously to move them around. When they start to smell fragrant and toasty, after a minute or two, transfer to a mortar and pestle, spice grinder, or cutting board. Crush them up just a bit and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add Aleppo pepper, cinnamon, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and ground lamb to bowl with spices. Chop leaves from parsley and half of mint and dill; add to bowl. Add breadcrumbs and egg and grate in 1 clove garlic; use your hands to mix and combine. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Divide mixture into 12 balls and put on sheet.
  • Bake 12 to 15 minutes for medium (about 145°F on an instant-read thermometer). Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine cucumbers, pickled-onion mixture, and 1 handful each parsley and mint leaves. Season with salt and black pepper and drizzle with a little oil.
  • Put labneh in another bowl; grate in remaining 1 clove garlic and zest of lemon. Season with Aleppo pepper and salt. Swoop mixture onto your serving plate or platter with the back of a spoon. Top with salad and meatballs. Cut zested lemon into wedges and serve alongside.

LAMB STEW WITH DILL



Lamb Stew with Dill image

Lamb stew is a quintessential spring dish that can be a real celebration-or unbearably heavy. The difference has little to do with the lamb and much to do with the vegetables: If the stew sports color and lots of different flavors, it is lovely, almost light. If, on the other hand, it contains little besides lamb and potatoes, it becomes the cafeteria-style "Irish stew" that gave the dish a bad name in the first place. This is how it's done in Scandinavia-bright, colorful, and fresh tasting. In other parts of northern Europe, parsley might be substituted for the dill; it's just as good. Other cuts of meat you can use here: beef chuck or brisket (which will require somewhat longer cooking time), veal shoulder.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil
2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into roughly 1 1/2-inch chunks
8 shallots, peeled
8 to 12 very small waxy potatoes, washed
Salt and black pepper
2 carrots, diced into roughly pea-size bits, optional
1 cup green peas (frozen are okay)
8 scallions, trimmed and sliced, optional
1/2 cup snipped dill leaves, or more to taste
Lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Put the butter in a wide skillet with a lid and place over high heat. When the butter foam subsides, add the lamb, a little at a time. Let sear, undisturbed, for about 2 minutes, or until the underside is nicely browned. Stir, then add the shallots and potatoes. Let cook for another couple of minutes, then add the salt, pepper, and a cup of water. Stir, scraping the bottom if necessary to loosen any bits of meat that may have stuck. Turn the heat to low, cover, and let the mixture simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring once or twice during that period.
  • Uncover and add the carrots if you're using them; stir once and simmer for about 15 minutes more, or until the lamb and potatoes are tender.
  • Uncover and add the peas and scallions. Raise the heat if necessary to boil away excess liquid. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve, garnished with the dill and accompanied by a lemon wedge.
