Lamb with Roasted Peppers
- 3 to 3 1/2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, trimmed, cut into 2-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- All-purpose flour, for dredging
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 medium onions, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 4 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 5 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 fresh bay leaves, or 3 dried bay leaves
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
- 4 roasted red bell peppers, jarred or freshly roasted, cut into 1-inch-thick strips
- Season the lamb with 2 teaspoons salt.
- Spread flour on a plate, and dredge the lamb in flour, tapping off the excess.
- Heat the olive oil and vegetable oil in a large skillet or shallow Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add the lamb, and brown on all sides, about 8 minutes.
- Remove the browned lamb to a plate.
- Add the onions, carrots, and garlic to the skillet or Dutch oven.
- Once they are sizzling, reduce the heat to medium and toss in the bay leaves.
- Cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour 1/2 cup of the white wine into the pot so the garlic doesnt burn.
- Return the meat to the pot, sprinkle with the oregano, and let cook over gentle heat until the meat juices are released, then dried up again, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the remaining 1/2 cup white wine, bring to a simmer, then cover and cook until lamb is tender, about 1 hour.
- Check occasionally to make sure the lamb is still cooking in liquid.
- If not, reduce the heat to keep the bottom of the pan from drying up.
- When the lamb is tender, uncover and pour in the vinegar and the remaining teaspoon salt.
- Cook, uncovered, until the liquid is almost gone, about 5 minutes.
- Add the roasted-pepper strips, and cook until the flavors come together, about 5 minutes.
