Watcha cookin'?

[Brute]

A bouquet garni of thyme, rosemary & bay leaves; tomato paste, veal Demi-glacé, homemade stock (I had chicken stock in the freezer, you can use beef stock), half a bottle of good red wine, sea salt & fresh ground black pepper

After generously seasoning the lamb, sear in batches in olive oil...don't overcrowd; you want a good sear on the meat...including the bone. When done remove to a bowl,

Add the half bottle of red wine...I prefer a big wine, like a cab, syrah or grenache...but use what you like..

Let the wine reduce by half

After the stew has simmered 2 1/2 hours, taste & adjust seasoning; then add potatoes...I use small Yukon gold & red potatoes halved, with the skin on (after washing)...if you are using larger potatoes like russets, cut into smaller pieces.

Simmer an additional half hour...if you like your stew thicker, remove cover last half hour to reduce liquid
