Braised Lamb Cheeks Sandwich
- 8 lamb cheeks
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup herbes de Provence
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cups lamb stock
- 4 crusty sandwich rolls (ideally baguette)
- Dijon mustard, for serving
- Season the lamb with salt and pepper and rub each cheek with the herbes de Provence.
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan or a stockpot.
- Add the lamb cheeks, in batches if necessary to avoid crowding them, and sear, turning halfway through to brown both sides.
- Once the edges are golden brown, add the lamb stock, turn the heat to low, and simmer about 90 minutes, until meltingly tender.
- Once the meat is cool enough to handle, shred it into small pieces and set it aside.
- When ready to serve, slice the rolls in half and warm them slightly in a warm oven.
- Spread Dijon mustard to taste on each roll and pile on the warmed shredded lamb cheek.
