Pyrenean Lamb and Bean Stew - Ragout d'Agneau aux Haricots Tarbais, from GAVARNIE
Traditional lamb and local white been stew from the village of Gavarnie in the French Pyrenees. Cooked on location under the towering Cirque de Gavarnie.
This Ragout d'Agneau (lamb stew) uses the highly prized local Tarbais bean, the same bean used in the famous Cassoulet.
The use of duck fat in the stew is optional, but will gain you extra points for authenticity! Don't forget to wash it down with the local wines of Madiran and Jurançon.
I hope you are inspired to try this classic dish from the Pyrenees, cooked, as always, just like the locals!
BON APPETIT DE GAVARNIE!

Add the sliced onions and diced carrots, season and sweat gently.
When soft add the diced pork and continue to sweat.
Add the chopped garlic (5 cloves) and cook a few minutes longer.
Skin and finely chop the tomatoes (or simply grate them, discarding the skin.) Add to the pot and allow to reduce and thicken.
Return the lamb, stir around for a minute, then add the water and the bouquet of herbs.
Simmer for an hour then add the drained beans.
Make a smooth paste with the flour and a little water. Mix this in.
Cook for another 90 minutes. With just a minute to go, chop up the parsley and the remaining cloves of garlic and stir in.

Slow-Roasted Lamb Shanks with Cannellini Beans
Serves 4 Prep 20 mins (+ resting time) Cooking 3 hours 5 mins
4 Coles Australian Lamb Shanks, French trimmed
1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 small brown onion, finely chopped
2 medium carrots, coarsely chopped
6 garlic cloves, crushed
4 thyme sprigs
1 tbs tomato paste
3/4 cup (185ml) dry white wine
2 cups (500ml) salt-reduced chicken stock
400g can cannellini beans, rinsed, drained
1 tsp thyme leaves
1 cup watercress sprigs
1/2 lemon, zested
Extra virgin olive oil, extra, to drizzle
1. Preheat oven to 150°C (130°C fan-forced). Pat the lamb dry with paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Add oil to a large heavy-based casserole pan and heat over medium-high heat. Add the lamb and cook, turning as needed, for 8-10 mins or until brown all over. Transfer lamb to a large plate.
2. Pour off all but 2 tsp fat in the pan. Reduce heat to medium and add the onion, carrots, garlic and thyme sprigs. Cook, stirring often, for 4 mins or until the vegetables brown slightly. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 2 mins or until the tomato paste deepens in colour and begins to stick to the base of the pan. Add the wine and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan. Add the stock, then return the lamb to the pan. Bring to a simmer.
3. Cover the pan and cook in the oven for 11/4 hours. Turn the lamb and cook, covered, for 1 hour. Uncover and cook for a further 20 mins or until lamb is tender. Transfer the lamb to a clean plate and loosely cover with foil. Set aside to rest.
4. Skim off any fat from the surface of the liquid in the pan. Remove and discard the thyme sprigs. Stir in the beans and thyme leaves and place the pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 mins or until the beans are heated through. Season.
5. Spoon the bean mixture into a rimmed serving platter. Add the lamb and top with watercress and lemon zest. Drizzle with extra oil to serve.
Swap me: To make this dish without wine, swap it for extra salt-reduced chicken stock.
