Name: Navarin of lamb with turnips
Total time: 150 min
Yield: 6 servings

The lightest of the lamb braises here — a clear broth rather than a thick sauce, and the turnips are the point rather than a potato stand-in, glazed separately and added at the end.

Method

6 steps · 150 minutes

Brown the lamb hard in half the butter, in batches, and take your time. This is a pale dish otherwise and it needs the color from here.
Tomato paste into the empty pan and cook it until it darkens and smells sweet, about 2 minutes.
Stock to barely cover, herbs and garlic in, and the barest simmer for 90 minutes.
Glaze the turnips separately in the rest of the butter with a splash of the braising liquid until they take on a shine.
Cooked in the pot from the start they turn to mush and cloud the broth, which is exactly what a navarin should not be.
Turnips and carrot into the pot for the last 15 minutes, and skim the fat before serving.
