Instructions
1
Prep
Cut 450g lamb leg into 5cm chunks. Season with 1.25 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp pepper. Finely dice 1 large onion, mince 3 garlic cloves. Drain and halve 400g canned artichoke hearts. Separate 2 eggs. Chop 20g fresh dill. Measure 120ml white wine, 350ml stock, 4 tbsp lemon juice.
2
Sear
Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear seasoned lamb 3–4 minutes per side until deeply browned. Remove and set aside.
3
Saute
Reduce heat to medium. Add diced onion, cook 4–5 minutes until translucent. Stir in garlic, cook 1 minute until fragrant.
4
Braise
Pour in white wine, simmer 2 minutes until reduced by half. Return lamb to pot, add 350ml stock, bring to a low simmer. Cover, braise on low heat 40–45 minutes until lamb is tender. Add artichoke hearts, braise further 10 minutes until heated through.
5
Build
Whisk egg whites to soft peaks in a bowl. Whisk in yolks until combined. Slowly whisk in 4 tbsp lemon juice. Ladle 150ml hot braising liquid into eggs in a thin stream, whisking constantly to temper.
6
Finish
Pour tempered egg mixture back into the pot, stirring gently over very low heat 1–2 minutes without boiling. Stir in dill and plate with crusty bread alongside.
