How To make James Beard's Lamb Shanks with Beans
2 c Dried beans
3 lg Onions
3 Cloves
1 Bay leaf
11 Garlic cloves
1 tb Salt
1/4 c Unsalted butter
6 tb Olive oil
6 Lamb shanks, meaty
1/4 ts Rosemary, crumbled
1 1/4 c Beef broth
1 1/4 c Dry red wine
6 sl Bacon, lean
1/2 c Dry bread crumbs
Pinto beans, Great Northerns, or pea beans can be used. Pick over the beans, and soak them in water to cover by 2 inches overnight, changing water at least one time. Drain. In a kettle, combine the beans with water to cover by 1-inch and add one of the onions, stuck with the cloves, the bay leaf, 8 garlic cloves, and salt. Boil the mixture for 5 minutes, and then simmer it, covered, for 25-30 minutes, or until the beans are just tender. Stud lamb shanks with slivers of garlic and rub them down with crumbled dried rosemary and salt to taste. In a heavy skillet, heat 3 Tbsp butter and 3 Tbsp oil over mod-high heat. Brown the lamb shanks and season them with salt and pepper. Add the rosemary, broth, wine, and bring liquid to a boil. Simmer the shanks, covered, for 60 minutes. In another skillet, cook the remaining 2 onions, sliced thin, in the remaining 3 Tbsp oil, until they are lightly browned. Cook them, covered, until they are softened and season them with salt and pepper. Drain the beans, reserving the cooking liquid. Put half the beans in an 8-qt. casserole, top them with the onions and the remaining 3 cloves of garlic, chopped fine. Transfer the shanks to the casserole and top them with the remaining beans. Pour the lamb braising liquid over all and add enough of the bean cooking liquid to just cover. Top the casserole with the bacon strips. Cook it, uncovered, in the middle of a preheated 350f oven for 60 minutes. Sprinkle the top of the mixture with bread crumbs. Dot with the remaining butter, cut into bits. Bake the mixture, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes or until the bread crumbs are golden. a 1970 Gourmet Mag. favorite.

This cooking competition is a pilot shot for PBS series that never got financed. Director was John Biffar and Richard Gore was co-producer with me. This was during the period when I was hosting the Simon Super Chefs Live Mall tour. That tour was conceived by Rich Gore when Food Network cancelled Food Net Work Live national tour.

Cat Chat 18: Have wine, will eat
You put a glass of wine and a plate of braised lamb shank in front of me, well, neither will last very long.
So when Hoku's, the award-winning restaurant at The Kahala Hotel and Resort, invited me to sample its wine dinner menu — sans the wine, though — I was there. And I would have probably brought my own fork.
The hotel is hosting two big food-related events this month: the Peay Vineyards Wine Dinner on April 13 at Hoku's and the Kahala Wine & Food Classic 2011 on April 22 and 23.
The first event will feature a dinner with paired wines from Peay Vineyards, a 53-acre estate vineyard located on the true Sonoma Coast in Northern California. This first-generation organic winery — which earned such accolades as the 2009 Winery of the Year from Wine & Spirits Magazine — specializes in Pinot Noir, Syrah and Chardonnay. (Cost is $120.)
The second is one of the hotel's signature food events. Headlining will be culinary icon and innovator, James Beard Award-winning author, and BRAVO TV personality Chef Cindy Pawlcyn paired with Napa Valley vintners Suzanne Pride Bryan and Stuart Bryan, known for their Wine Spectator Top 100 recognized wines from Pride Mountain Vineyards. (Cost varies per event. But check out the dinner menu.)
We were lucky enough to have some of the dishes served at both events — and from last month's wine dinner — prepared for us by executive chef Wayne Hirabayashi.
Healthy cooking with Dr Warren lamb freestyle

Please feel free to make changes and pass it on, and by doing so we can bring more healing foods to people in need. A lot of our problems can be boiled down to lack of good nutrients in our diets.
