Mushroom Ragu with Slow-Cooked Lamb

Ingredients:

Mushroom Ragu with Slow-Cooked Lamb

1.5kg lamb shoulder (with the shank attached)
2 tbs olive oil
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
3 drained anchovy fillets, finely chopped
2 brown onions, halved, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, peeled, sliced
600g mixed mushrooms, sliced (i.e. cups, Swiss brown, oyster &shiitake)
375ml chicken stock
1 lemon, cut into wedges
1 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 large lemon, finely grated
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
Flat-bread and natural yoghurt, to serve

Method:

Mushroom Ragu with Slow-Cooked Lamb

Preheat the oven to 130°C fan-forced. Score the fat-side of the lamb. Combine 1 tablespoon of the oil with paprika, cumin, coriander and salt and pepper then rub all over the lamb
Heat a deep, flameproof roasting pan or baking dish over a medium-high heat. Add the remaining oil, then the lamb, skin-side down. Cook until the lamb is well browned all over. Remove the lamb to a tray.
Turn the heat down to medium, add the anchovy fillets and stir until dissolved. Add the onions and garlic and cook for 5 minutes until soft, then stir in the mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil. Turn the heat off
Place the lamb on top of the mushrooms. Add the lemon wedges. Place a sheet of baking paper right down on the surface of the lamb, then cover tightly with a lid or 2-3 layers of foil. Roast for 5-6 hours or until lamb meat falls from the bone easily
Strain the juices into a jug. Carefully skim the excess fat from the surface of the juices then pour 1-1 1/2cups juices back over the lamb. Preheat grill on high heat. Place the lamb under the grill to crisp up the skin if desired
Combine the parsley, lemon rind and almonds and scatter over the lamb. Serve with warm flat-bread and yoghurt

Mushrooms: Swiss Brown

Brown mushrooms are tan to dark brown colour. A firmer texture than button mushrooms, with less moisture content, so they hold their shape well when cooked. Flavour is deeper and earthier than white mushrooms.

Preparation: There's no need to wash or peel mushrooms, simply brush off any specks or wipe over with a damp cloth or paper towel. Trim stems as required. They're delicious marinated for an antipasto plate or slice and dice them and add to pasta, pilafs, risottos, casseroles, pie filling or curries
