LAMB STEW WITH SPRING VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat the canola oil in a medium (10- to 11-inch) ovenproof pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook for 5 minutes, until browned. Transfer the bacon to a large plate, leaving the fat in the pan. Dry the lamb with paper towels and toss it in a bowl first with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and then with the 1/4 cup of flour. Raise the heat to medium high and cook half the lamb in the bacon fat for 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned. Add the lamb to the plate with the bacon and brown the second batch, also transferring it to the plate. Add the garlic to the pot and cook for one minute.
• Pour the lamb and bacon, along with any juices that collect, back into the pot. Add the beef stock, wine, tomatoes (including the juice), thyme, rosemary, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil, scraping up the brown bits in the pot. Simmer for 5 minutes, cover and place in the oven for 30 minutes. Add the carrots, potatoes, onions and turnips, cover and return to the oven for 1 hour, until all the vegetables are tender.
• Mash the 2 tablespoons of flour with the butter in a small bowl. Stir the mixture into the stew and simmer on top of the stove for 3 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the peas and parsley, season to taste and serve hot in large shallow bowls.

SUPER EASY GROUND BEEF STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Dissolve bouillon in the boiling water in a large bowl; pour a portion of the broth into another pot for boiling the noodles.
• Bring the broth in the pot to a boil and add onion powder, dried onion, and garlic powder. Add egg noodles; bring back to a boil. Cook until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain. Stir in frozen peas and cover.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute onions until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef; cook and stir until no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Add remaining onion powder and pepper. Stir in flour and mix well, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the reserved broth. Bring to a boil. Cook, stirring to avoid clumps, until beef sauce is thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Serve meat sauce over a plate of noodles.

SPRING LAMB STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Toss your lamb stew meat in the flour mixed with a pinch of the dried marjoram and some salt and pepper (to taste). Coat each piece completely.
• In a large skillet that has a tight-fitting lid, saute the lamb over high-heat in 2 Tbsp of the oil. Cook until nicely browned. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to keep the flour coating from burning, as you saute.
• Remove the lamb to a bowl and set aside for later.
• In the same skillet add 2 Tbsp of the grapseseed oil (half of what remains) and reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the sliced onions and saute, slowly browning. Add half the marjoram, half the salt, and half the pepper.
• When the onions are fully brown, remove them to the same bowl as the browned lamb and set aside for later.
• In the same skillet, add the remaining oil and marjoram to the diced morel mushrooms. Add 1 Tbsp unsalted butter, the red bell pepper, and the thyme. Saute until the mushrooms have shrunk to about half size.
• Re-add the lamb and onions to the mushrooms. Stir to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper (if needed).
• Add the half-and-half as well as the low-fat (light) sour cream and stir to combine, completely. Reduce the heat to very low and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring only once or twice during this time to prevent any burning.
• While the sauce is simmering, heat your water for the penne pasta. Once the water has been salted and brought to a boil, add the pasta and cook until al'dente.
• Remove the pasta and drain; serve equal amounts on small plates or in bowls.
• When the sauce has finished simmering, it should be thick. If it is not thick, remove the lid and keep simmering (uncovered) while stirring it, to thicken. When it has finally reached the desired consistency, stir in the diced tomatoes.
• Pour equal parts of the sauce over each serving of pasta and serve hot.
