Ingredients
- 1/3 cup flour shopping list
- ½ teaspoon mustard powder shopping list
- Pinch of sea salt or kosher salt shopping list
- Freshly ground black pepper shopping list
- 2 ¼ pounds very lean lamb (fillet or leg), cut into 1 1/4 inch cubes shopping list
- 1/3 cup (3/4 stick) unsalted butter shopping list
- 1 tablespoon olive oil shopping list
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed shopping list
- 1 large onion, sliced shopping list
- 12 shallots, peeled and finely chopped shopping list
- 1 tablespoon Kailua (or other coffee liqueur) shopping list
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee shopping list
- 4 cups good-quality lamb stock shopping list
- 2 ounces dark chocolate, minimum 60% cocoa content, broken into pieces shopping list
- FOR GARNISHING shopping list
- 1 tablespoon crème fraiche or sour cream shopping list
- Handful chopped fresh parsley shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 425F.
- Season the flour with the mustard powder, salt, and pepper.
- Toss the lamb in the seasoned flour and coat well.
- Rub together 2 tablespoons of butter and the remaining seasoned flour and set aside.
- Heat the oil and remaining butter in the Dutch oven, add the garlic, onion, and shallots, and sauté for 5 minutes until soft and golden.
- Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- In the same pan, sear the flour-coated lamb in batches until browned on all sides.
- Add a little extra oil if necessary. Remove and set aside.
- Do not wash out the frying pan!
- Add the Kailua and the coffee to the sticky brown residue in the put and, over medium heat, stir together for about 4 minutes, scraping up all the bits from the bottom of the pan, to form a glossy smooth sauce; the sauce should be reduced by half. Add the lamb stock and the flour and butter mixture, continuing to stir.
- Bring to a boil. Return the onion mixture and meat to the pot. Cover.
- Transfer put to the oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 325°F for another 45 minutes or until the lamb is tender.
- Insert a knife into the center of a chunk – the lamb should just slide off.
- Once tender, remove the lamb from the oven and stir in the pieces of chocolate, ensuring it is completely blended throughout the stew.
- Garnish with a swirl of crème fraiche or sour cream, and sprinkling of fresh chopped parsley.

- * NOTE* Beurre manié should not be confused with roux, which is also a thickener made of equal parts of butter and flour, but which is cooked before use.

I love the flavor of a good chocolate/coffee sauce on certain meats. Its so rich and has that extra little bite at the end. The Kalua in this recipe gives it a nice added smoothness. I also like that you use the beurre manie' to thicken it. That h...more
