Lamb and Fennel Stew – recipe from Tasty Eats

 

My ‘Sunday Roast (Braise)’ yesterday

 

Ronit’s Lamb and Fennel Stew (pic from her Tasty Eats blog) – looks much better and must be much much much more yummy than mine!

I have been playing with fennel for the last one month as I’m really into the vegetable lately (read my posts: Macco and Bucatini con Sarde). This is like I did with beetroot last year, so Ronit’s Lamb and Fennel Stew recipe was added to the top of my to-do list as soon as it appeared on the Worldpress Reader. I gave it a try yesterday, which turned out to be satisfaction – no, more than that!

This was absolutely fantastic!! The sauce tasted really beautiful even before oven braising!! (I realised why Ronit recommends orange blossom honey when adding it.) I couldn’t hardly wait for two hours! Well, it was worthwhile waiting though!!  Of course, lamb and fennel bulb were tasty as well!

I basically followed her recipe, but substituted some ingredients that I couldn’t find:

lamb chops
1 tbsp preserved lemon paste (for preserved lemon)
1 tbsp salsa sauce (for hot sauce and pickled hot red chili pepper)
Arak (for Uozo)

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, Ronit. I will probably try this again before I drink up the bottle of Arak 😀 and another stew, Lamb Stew with Tomatoes, Okra and Dried Apricots, while Okra is in season but before it gets really hot in the summer.

Enjoy Ronit’s wonderful stew!
