Instructions: PREPARATION:
Rinse, pick over beans, and put them in bowl with cold water to cover by 3
inches. Let stand for 24 hours; drain. Or, put beans in a 5-quart soup kettle
or Dutch oven with water to cover, bring to a boil, cover, remove from heat,
and let stand 1 hour; drain. Return drained beans to soup kettle, and add
cold water to cover by 3 inches. Bring to a boil, turn heat to low and simmer,
partially covered, until the beans are almost tender, about 1 hour. Stir in 1
teaspoon of salt and continue cooking until the beans are tender, 15 to 20
minutes. Drain and set aside. Cut lamb into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Peel and crush
the garlic and put it in a non-reactive bowl with the wine, vinegar, 3
tablespoons oil, thyme, marjoram, basil, and bay leaves. Add the lamb and
marinate for at least two hours. (Can cover and refrigerate the beans and
meat separately overnight.) Peel and chop the onions (2 cups). Peel and cut
carrots into 1/2-inch slices. Drain the tomatoes and set vegetables aside
separately.
COOKING:
Adjust oven rack to low position and heat oven to 350F. Remove the lamb
from the marinade and pat dry on paper toweling. Heat 3 tablespoons of
the oil in the Dutch oven or soup kettle until hot but not smoking. Working
in batches, sear the lamb over high heat until well browned, adding additional
oil as needed, and removing lamb to a bowl with a slotted spoon or until
tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook 3 minutes. Whisk in
the reserved marinade and beef stock. Stir in the tomatoes and 2 teaspoons
salt, and bring to a boil. Return meat to the kettle with any accumulated
juices, cover with foil and the lid and bake 1 hour. Skim, stir in the carrots
and bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Stir in the beans and bake until stew
thickens slightly, about 15 minutes. Rinse and drain the olives. Mince the
parsley. Stir in olives and parsley and season with 1/2 teaspoon pepper and
salt to taste. |
