Instructions:
- Cut the shoulder, neck and breast of
lamb into 2-inch pieces.
- Peel, seed and chop tomatoes.
Peel and crush the garlic cloves.
- Heat 1½ Tbs. of the oil in large
saucepan, add some of the lamb pieces and sauté over medium-high heat until browned on
all sides. Remove and set aside.
- Continue to sauté the remaining
lamb in small quantities, adding a little more oil if necessary, until all has been
browned. Add the garlic and let cook for a minute or two longer.
- Pour off two-thirds of the fat that
remains on the pan. Return the lamb to the pan, sprinkle evenly with the flour and cook
over high heat for a minute or two to dry the meat slightly. Add the chopped
tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.
- Warm the stock in a small saucepan
and pour over the lamb. Add the bouquet garni and bring to a boil. Cover and
let simmer for 30 minutes longer.
- Meanwhile, rinse and drain the snow
peas. Place in a saucepan of boiling salted water and let cook, uncovered, for 8
minutes. Drain, rinse briefly under cold water, and add to the lamb 3 minutes before
ready to serve.
- Remove the bouquet garni and serve.
