👨🍳 Fremgangsmåte
- 1
Season the lamb cubes generously with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb in batches until golden brown on all sides. Remove the lamb and set aside.
- 2
Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze, loosening any browned bits. Let the wine simmer and reduce slightly for 2-3 minutes.
- 4
Return the browned lamb to the pot. Add the chicken or lamb stock, pitted prunes, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 1.5 hours, or until the lamb is tender.
- 5
Stir in the toasted pine nuts. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 15-20 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaf before serving.

Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
💡 Profesjonelle tips

- ✓If the sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by making a slurry of 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stirring it into the simmering stew.
- ✓Toasting the pine nuts enhances their flavor and texture.
