🍳 Recipe Information
Spanish-Style Lamb Stew
John Willoughby fell in love with pimentón, a smoky Spanish paprika, after a trip to La Vera, a region west of Madrid, first encountering it in a lamb stew. “The stew, rich with the slight gaminess of lamb, the tang of sherry and the smooth comfort of white beans, was brought to greatness by the subtle heat and almost mysterious smokiness of the pimentón,” he wrote. He drew inspiration from the stew, making his own version at home and bringing this recipe to The Times in 2010.
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pounds boneless lamb stew meat (preferably shoulder), cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
- Salt
- pepper
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 1 large red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon pimentón de la Vera, preferably picante or agridulce
- 1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, with their juice
- 3/4 cup red wine, preferably Rioja
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 3 bay leaves
- 3 cups cooked white beans, rinsed and drained if canned
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions:
- Warm oil in a large heavy-bottom pot with a lid or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, sprinkle lamb generously with salt and pepper and cook in batches to avoid overcrowding, turning once or twice, until each piece is well browned all over, about 15 minutes total. Transfer pieces to a plate as they brown.
- Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat and add onions, bell pepper, garlic and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions and peppers are softened, about 5 minutes. Add pimentón and stir for a minute. Stir in tomatoes, breaking them into bite-size pieces and scraping browned bits from the pot. Add wine, chicken stock, vinegar and bay leaves and bring just to a boil.
- Return lamb to pot and reduce heat so mixture is bubbling very gently. Partly cover pot and cook, stirring every 20 minutes or so, until lamb is very tender, about 2 hours. Discard bay leaves. Stir in beans and cook another 10 minutes to heat them through. Stir in parsley and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

I used about a cup and a half of inexpensive red wine and probably only a cup of chicken broth because that’s all I had. Never put the beans in coz I forgot. Came out gloriously and so fast and easy (40 mins in the pressure cooker). Save yourself all the trouble of browning the meat and all the rest and just enjoy!",

Then I baked a cake and put it back in the oven at 200F for a few more hours. Moreover, after browning the lamb and veggies, I put the stew in a large tagine.

They needed an another hour and 20 min. in a 330-degree oven to cook to the right consistency, by which point the lamb was falling apart as it should. The results were delicious both times. Highly recommended.",

Many layers of flavor. Incidentally, the sherry vinegar is distinctive; I would not substitute red wine vinegar.",

"reviewBody": "I used lamb stew meat with bones and cooked it an additional hour. The meat was fork-tender, pulled off of the bones and back into the pot. Then, left in the fridge for two days, spooned off the congealed fat at the top and then added the beans and parsley. I substituted red wine vinegar for the sherry vinegar as suggested, which I think was a mistake. I'm thinking it really needed that sherry taste. Otherwise, a big hit and I'll be making it again and will buy the sherry vinegar.",

Our lamb wasn't very fat so I only cooked it about 1 1/4 hours so as not to cause the lamb to be too dry. It's LOTS of lamb and I think would feed 8 people.",
