How to Make Bayonne Lamb Collier De Mouton A La Bayonne

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine 1.5 lbs boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 2-inch cubes, 1 large onion, chopped, 2 carrots, chopped, 1 bay leaf, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 4 cups water.
  2. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the lamb is very tender.
  3. Add 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced, to the pot 20 minutes before the lamb is finished cooking.
  4. Carefully remove the lamb and vegetables from the pot and set aside in a warm serving dish.
  5. Increase the heat to high and boil the cooking liquid rapidly until reduced to 2 1/2 cups. This will take approximately 15-20 minutes.
  6. In a separate saucepan, melt 2 tbsp butter. Whisk in 2 tbsp all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, creating a roux. Gradually whisk in the reduced cooking liquid, stirring constantly until smooth and thickened. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  7. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Temper the egg mixture by slowly whisking in a few tablespoons of the hot sauce. This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
  9. Gently pour the tempered egg/cream mixture into the sauce and return to the pot. Stir gently to combine.
  10. Reheat gently over low heat. Do not boil.
  11. Pour the sauce over the lamb and vegetables and serve immediately with crusty bread.
