GUY E. ATWOOD
2 lb lamb
2 each onions
1 tbsp oil
2 tbsp flour
1 tsp salt
6 each artichokes
1 tsp mint leaves
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 each onions, chopped
1 eggs
1 tbsp lemon juice
Directions
Cube lamb. Quarter onions. In Dutch oven, quickly brown meat and
onions in oil over medium high heat. Lower heat and sprinkle flour
into pan. Stir until well blended. Add salt and enough water to just
cover meat. Simmer, uncovered, until meat is half done.
Prepare artichokes by cutting off tops and removing small outer tough
leaves. With scissors, square cut each remaining leaf. Place in cold
water to which you have added a few drops of lemon juice. Drain and
stand them on meat. Chop mint leaves and mix with lemon juice; spoon
over artichokes. Lightly salt. Scatter chopped onions over artichokes
and meat. Cover tightly and simmer until artichokes and lamb are
done, about
12 hours.
Remove artichokes and meat and arrange on platter. Beat egg, add lemon
juice and salt. Add some broth and mix well. Add back into remaining
broth and cook over low heat until thickened, making sure you stir
constantly. Pour over meat and serve with good ol' Oriental sticky
rice or (God forbid) noodles.

The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked far back into ancient history, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these early cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, rue and dill. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the holy land, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are kept safe in private collections. The arrival of TV gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
We hope you enjoy this Lamb Stew With Artichokes recipe.
