? How To Make Ina Garten Four Hour Lamb

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Rub the lamb with olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper all over it.
3. Heat a large pot (like a Dutch oven) on medium-high heat until it’s hot.
4. Put the lamb in the pot and cook on all sides for about 12 minutes, until it’s browned.
5. Take the lamb out and put it on a plate.
6. Add wine and 2 cups of water to the pot. Cook for a minute or two, scraping the brown bits from the bottom.
7. Add garlic, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves to the pot, then place the lamb back in.
8. Cover the pot with a lid (or use two layers of aluminum foil if you don’t have a lid).
9. Bake in the oven for 4 hours. Occasionally, spoon some of the liquid over the lamb (baste it).
10. After 4 hours, the lamb should be very tender and falling off the bone.
11. Take the lamb out and cover it with foil. Let it rest.
12. Strain the sauce from the pot into a saucepan and bring it to a boil.
13. Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce for 10 minutes.
14. The lamb will be too tender to slice. Serve it warm with spoons and the sauce.

? Recipe Tips:

• Ensure the lamb is evenly seared on all sides before braising: This locks in juices and enhances flavor.
• Use fresh herbs for maximum flavor: Substitute dried herbs only if necessary for the best results.
• Avoid over-seasoning with salt and pepper: Too much can overpower the dish’s natural flavors.
• Maintain proper braising liquid level: Ensure enough liquid to prevent the lamb from drying out.
• Allow the lamb to rest after cooking: This redistributes juices, ensuring a tender, juicy dish.
