How to Make Lamb With Braised Lentils
- In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Season the lamb steaks generously with salt and pepper. Add the lamb steaks to the hot pan and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
- Remove the lamb steaks from the pan and set aside.
- Add the finely chopped onion (1 medium) to the pan and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic (2 cloves) and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the carrots (1 cup, chopped) and celery (1/2 cup, chopped) and cook for 3-5 minutes, until slightly softened.
- Add the lentils (1 cup, green or brown), vegetable stock (2 cups), lemon rind (zest of 1 lemon), and lemon juice (2 tablespoons). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
- Return the lamb steaks to the pan. Cover and cook for a further 5-10 minutes to allow the lamb to heat through and absorb the flavors.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute 1 cup of the vegetable stock with red wine (such as Merlot) or dry white wine.
- Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) and serve hot.
