BRAISED LAMB TACOS

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 cup sherry vinegar
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
10 cloves garlic, smashed
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cinnamon stick
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
1 16-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 5-pound bone-in leg of lamb, cross-cut into 5 to 6 pieces (ask your butcher to do this)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 12-ounce bottles lager beer (I like Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold)
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
Corn tortillas, warmed, for serving
Cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • Toast the cumin and coriander seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, swirling the pan, until slightly darkened, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the vinegar, olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, cinnamon stick, brown sugar, chile powder and tomatoes; whisk to combine. Put the lamb in a large nonreactive container and add the marinade; cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 48 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the lamb from the marinade and pat dry; reserve the marinade. Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Heat the canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the lamb and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add the reserved marinade, the beer and jalapeno and bring to a simmer. Cover, transfer to the oven and braise until very tender, about 2 hours. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Skim off any excess fat. Remove the lamb and pull the meat off the bone, discarding the bones and fat. Strain the liquid into a smaller pot and keep warm. Shred the meat with your fingers and transfer to a bowl. Pour the warmed braising liquid over the meat and toss to coat. Divide among corn tortillas and top with cilantro.

LAMB TACOS (BARBACOA STYLE)



Lamb Tacos (Barbacoa Style) image

Barbacoa is a preparation of steaming and smoking meat, resulting in some very flavorful meat that stays moist during the cooking process until it is fork-tender and falling apart.

Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 dried ancho chiles
2 dried chipotle chiles
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 pounds tied boneless lamb shoulder
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
6 banana leaves
2 limes, cut into wedges
10 to 12 flour tortillas, warmed
1 cup picked fresh cilantro leaves
1 cup crumbled queso fresco
1 cup shaved radishes
1 red onion, shaved paper thin
Malbec, for serving

Steps:

  • Rehydrate the anchos and chipotles in a bowl and cover with hot, boiling water. Soak the chiles until they are soft, about 20 minutes.
  • Add the chiles, paprika, oregano, cinnamon and garlic to a food processor. Pour in the oil and process until smooth. If the puree is too thick, add a tablespoon or 2 of the chile soaking liquid to thin to desired consistency.
  • Place the lamb in a roasting dish and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Pour the puree on top, cover and marinate in the fridge for 3 to 4 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Thaw the banana leaves (if frozen) by running them under warm water. Line a turkey roaster or braising dish with the banana leaves, slightly overlapping them on one another.
  • Remove the lamb from the marinade and place on the banana leaves. Wrap up the lamb with the banana leaves, tucking in the edges so it is completely covered. Add 1 1/2 cups water to the baking dish, then cover the entire pan with aluminum foil.
  • Bake until the meat is tender and falling apart, 4 hours. Remove the foil and open the banana leaves. Shred the lamb with a fork and season with salt and lime juice. Serve with the warm flour tortillas, cilantro leaves, queso fresco, radishes and onions and pair with the Malbec.

Time 3h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 27

3 dried ancho chiles, halved, stems removed
2 dried arbol chiles, halved, stems removed
2 cups boiling water
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon oregano
kosher salt and black pepper
2 bone-in lamb shanks (about 3 1/2 pounds)
4 cups chicken stock
1/3 cup lime juice
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
2 chilies, seeded and cut into rings
3/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 -6 tomatillos, husked and coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, smashed and quartered
1 ripe avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and diced
1/2 medium onion, coarsely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 jalapeno, coarsely chopped with seeds
1 lime, juice of
12 white corn tortillas
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
4 medium radishes, thinly sliced
1/2 cup queso fresco, crumbled (1 1/2 ounces)
lime wedge, for serving

Steps:

  • For the braised lamb:.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Toast the chiles skin-side up until fragrant and beginning to darken, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and pour enough boiling water to cover and soak until softened, about 15 minutes. Strain, reserving the water. Transfer the chiles to a blender or food processor along with 1/2 cup of the reserved steeping water, the cider vinegar, cumin, oregano and garlic. Process until a smooth paste forms. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Place the lamb in a Dutch oven and slather the chile paste over the shanks. Add the chicken stock. Bring the liquid to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer, cover with the lid and braise until the lamb is tender, about 2 hours 30 minutes.
  • For the pickled peppers:.
  • Meanwhile, bring the lime juice, sugar and vinegar to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Put the chiles in a separate bowl and pour the vinegar mixture over. Let cool for about 20 minutes. Discard the liquid before using.
  • For the guacamole:.
  • Combine the cilantro, cumin, salt, tomatillos, garlic, avocado, onions, jalapenos and lime juice in a food processor or blender and pulse until combined and still somewhat chunky.
  • For assembly:.
  • When cool enough to handle, remove the lamb from the braising liquid and shred. Once the lamb is removed, bring the braising liquid back to a boil and cook until it reduces to about 2 cups of liquid, 10 to 12 minutes. Return the shredded lamb back to the braising liquid in the Dutch oven. Toast the tortillas, if desired, over an open flame just until slightly charred. Fill each tortilla with some of the shredded lamb, guacamole, cilantro, radishes and pickled peppers and top with queso fresco. Repeat until all the tacos are assembled. Serve with lime wedges.

Apricot-Smoked Chile Glaze Lamb Tacos with Tomato-Cucumber Salsa image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 plum tomatoes, diced
1 serrano chile, finely diced
1/2 English cucumber, diced
1/2 small red onion, diced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1/2 cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo puree
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds boneless lamb loin
Canola oil, for brushing lamb
8 to 12 flour or corn tortillas (8-inch size)

Steps:

  • Heat a gas grill to high.
  • For the tomato-cucumber salsa: Combine the tomatoes, serrano chiles, cucumbers and onions in a medium bowl. Add the olive oil and vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Toss in the dill and mint.
  • For the lamb: Mix together the apricot preserves, vinegar, chipotle puree and salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Brush the lamb with canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, covered, until nicely charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, brush with the apricot glaze, cover and cook until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 125 degrees F for medium rare, another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, brush with more glaze and let rest 10 minutes.
  • While the lamb rests, grill the tortillas for a few seconds on each side; keep warm. Slice the lamb into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Brush each tortilla with a little of the glaze, put a few slices of lamb into each, top with the salsa and serve immediately.
