Slow cook lamb with baking oven


Recently, I bought this amazingly good baking dish from Le Creuset at T.Jmax with a so good price: just around $17, cheaper than any online store. This time, I use this one to cook a lamb dish. This kind of food is good for winter time, because lamb is considered as "hot" food, it can warm your body up. The cooking process is easier when I use Breville Compact Smart Oven

1. Ingredients:
- 1 pack of lamb meat (you can use lam stew, lamb chop, vvv). I bought this one from Trader Joe's.


- Spices: I use of 21 salute seasoning from Trader Joe's and  cumin as main seasonings: 1 spoon for each, plus dried basil, oregano, sage: 1 tea spoon each . 

Also: salt and black pepper: 1 tea spoon for each

- Vege: 1 potato, 1 carrot, green bean, 1 sliced shallot, 1 chopped onion, sliced mushroom (1/2 pack)

2. Method
- Preheat a pan with 1 spoon of oil, than add the meat, if you use nonstick pan, you even don't have to use oil 


- Cook each side for 10 minutes ( if you are in a hurry, cook for 5 mins), when you turn to another side, add sliced shallot 

- Take the meat out, put them in to the baking dish, and add vege and seasoning to pan, stir well for 3 mins, add 2 cups of water, and wait until it is broiled. At this time, you can preheat the oven at baking setting: 375 degree 



- Pour the mixture to the baking dish


- Cover it with foil, and bake it for 1 hour.


And here is the result: perfectly beautiful!




Eat with bread or rice is both suitable! Serve with some drop of lemon juice!

Ps: If your room is too smelly after cooking and eating this dish, use this trick: put several slices of lemon to a pot of water, broil it, let the steam bring the lemon fragrance spreading around your kitchen, it will take all other smells away!
