Ingredients
Method
Citrus QuinoaHoney-Roasted Carrots
Trim fat from lamb; cut meat into 1-1/2-inch (4 cm) cubes. In bowl, toss together lamb, salt, pepper and paprika.
In Dutch oven, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat; brown lamb, in batches and adding up to 1 tbsp (15 mL) more oil if necessary. Transfer to bowl.
Reduce heat to medium; cook onions until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 2 minutes. Add half each of the rosemary and thyme.
Whisk together beer, honey and mustard; add to pan and bring to boil, scraping up brown bits.
Return lamb and any accumulated juices to pan. Add beef broth, adding more if necessary to cover lamb by two-thirds; bring to boil. Cover and bake in 325°F (160°C) oven for 1-1/2 hours.
Uncover and bake for 30 minutes. Increase heat to 400°F (200°C); bake until lamb is very tender and liquid is reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Skim off fat.
Stir in lemon and lime juice and remaining rosemary and thyme.
