| Author Notes: | This quick cooking ragout offers lots of flavor and great versatility. You can serve it over pasta, or spaghetti squash or make a sandwich on crusty bread. It's a good freezer item and can be defrosted in the microwave without the sauce losing any of its fabulous flavor. |
| Ingredients: | 1/4 cup olive oil 2 garlic cloves, chopped 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper 2 bay leaves 1/2 pound coarsely ground lamb 1/4 cup red wine 1 can (16 ounces) peeled, whole tomatoes 2 red peppers, roasted, peeled, seeded and julienned 1 pound spinach, washed and roughly torn 1/4 cup black olives (such as kalamatas) pitted 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese salt and pepper to taste |
| Instructions: | Heat a 2 quart saute pan until hot, add olive oil. Cook the garlic, crushed red pepper and bay leaves for about 3 minutes. Add the ground lamb, stirring until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Pour in the wine and reduce for about 3 minutes until syrupy. Mix in the tomatoes and peppers and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes. Mix in remaining ingredients and cook an additional 10 minutes. Correct the seasoning and serve. |
Me? I never cook lamb. That would be Christa. Lamb ragout looks awesome though.
ReplyDeletedid you get ground lamb? lamb burgers are srsly amazing. ground lamb, add in chopped onion, chopped black olive, crumbled feta, an egg. mix with your hands and form into patties. grill like a normal burger (or broil). serve with warm pita and make a tatziki sauce (sp?) which is basically yogurt with lemon juice, salt a little minced garlic and maybe some cucumbers. sooo good. serve with greek salad.and red wine.
