Steps:
- Heat olive oil (2 tbsp) in a large, heavy-based pot. Fry sliced brown onion (1 large) and baby onions (12) until starting to soften, then remove to a plate.
- Fry lamb shoulder (1.5kg cut into 4-5cm/2" pieces) in batches until browned then add to the plate with the onions. When the last of the lamb is finished browning, add reserved lamb and onions back to the pot.
- Add garlic cloves (4 - crushed) and fry for 30 seconds.
- Then add in tomato paste (2 tbsp), ground cumin (2 tsp), fresh rosemary (1 tsp - finely chopped), ground cloves (¼ tsp), and cinnamon (a pinch) then fry for a further minute.
- Add red wine vinegar (1 tbsp) and dry red wine (375ml) to the pot and simmer to reduce by about a third.
- Add tinned cherry tomatoes (1 x 400ml tin - tomatoes broken up slightly), beef stock (375ml), and fine salt (1 tsp) then simmer with the lid on but slightly ajar (see my notes) for 1½ hours or until lamb is tender. Add more cinnamon or salt as required then serve.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a flameproof casserole over a medium-high heat and brown the beef all over, removing it to a plate with a slotted spoon as you go (you may need to do this in batches). Drizzle the rest of the oil into the pan. Peel the onions (but leave whole) and add to the pan, then scatter over the sugar. Sizzle for 5 mins, stirring now and then until starting to brown. Add the garlic, bay, cinnamon stick, allspice, cloves and oregano, and cook for 1 min more. Stir in the tomato purée and cook for another minute, then tip in the beef along with any resting juices. Stir to coat in the spiced onion mixture.
- Add the red wine vinegar and chopped tomatoes. Rinse the cans out with the wine and pour it in, then add a third of a can of water. Season with salt and stir well. Bring to a simmer, stir again, then cover with the lid and transfer to the oven for 1 hr.
- Remove from the oven and stir again. If the sauce looks very thick, add a splash more water. Cover again and return to the oven for another hour, or until the meat is fork-tender - the timing will depend on the cut you've used. Serve hot. To get ahead, leave to cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container and chill for up to three days or freeze for up to three months. Defrost completely in the fridge overnight, then reheat in a pan over a low heat with a splash more water to loosen, if needed.

YUMMY LAMB STIFADO
My housemate declared this Greek Lamb dish the best thing she'd ever eaten! I've been making it for years and have tweeked the recipe to my own personal taste so it isn't very traditional but a slightly less sharp-tasting version. The original recipe called for lots more red wine vinegar and whole pearl onions which I omit. I also add honey to give a slightly sweeter taste. Using Lamb shanks as opposed to a whole leg of Lamb makes the meat much more tender. Best served with vermicelli (angel hair pasta) or mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 140 - 150oc (the lower the temperature and the longer you cook the Lamb the more tender it will be).
- In a large saucepan pour enough olive oil to cover the base of the pan. On a low heat, add the finely chopped onion and garlic and sweat for a few minutes
- Once the onions are softened add the tinned tomatos, passata, red wine, vinegar,bay leaves, herbs, spices, and salt and pepper and turn up the heat to medium.
- Once sauce is bubbling, add the honey. Turn heat down and leave to simmer uncovered.
- Whilst the sauce is simmering, brown the Lamb shanks on all sides in a dry frying pan on a high heat.
- Place the Lamb in a large casserole dish and pour the sauce over.
- Cover the casserole dish and place into the oven for 2 1/2 - 3 hours, turning Lamb every 30 - 40 minutes.
- Once the meat is falling off the bone, remove the Lamb from the dish and cut into chunks (the Lamb will be so tender you could do this with a spoon).
- Return the Lamb to the dish and remove bay leaves. Cook for a further 20 - 30 minutes.
- Crumble feta over the Lamb to serve.
- YUMMY! ;-).

LAMB SHANK STIFADO WITH SAUTEED POTATOES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a 9-quart heavy ovenproof kettle cook sugar on top of stove over moderate heat, without stirring, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook sugar, stirring with a fork until melted and cook without stirring, swirling kettle, until a deep golden caramel. Add vinegar and stir until caramel is dissolved. Stir in tomatoes with juice, wine, rosemary, cinnamon, and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Add lamb shanks and braise, covered, in middle of oven until tender, about 2 hours. Braised lamb shanks improve in flavor if made 1 day ahead. Cool mixture, uncovered, and chill, covered. Skim and discard fat from mixture and reheat on top of stove before proceeding.
- In a saucepan of boiling water blanch onions 10 minutes, or until just tender, and drain. Cool onions and peel.
- Quarter potatoes and in a steamer set over simmering water steam potatoes, covered, 8 to 10 minutes, or until just tender. In a large non-stick skillet cook garlic in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until pale golden. Add potatoes with salt and pepper to taste and sauté mixture over moderately high heat 5 minutes, or until potatoes are golden.
- Transfer meat with a slotted spoon to a platter. Discard cinnamon stick and bay leaf. Add onions to sauce and boil until sauce is thickened slightly. Spoon sauce and onions over meat and surround with potatoes.
