Buffalo and Lamb Stew in the Slow Cooker
2 tbsp olive oil
2 chopped onions
4 cloves minced garlic
4 leaves sage
1/4 cup flour
1 tbsp black pepper, coarsely ground
2 pounds buffalo stew meat in 1" cubes
2 pounds lamb shoulder in 1" cubes
4 large potatoes, cubed
20 baby carrots
2 stalks celery, diced
16 oz beef stock
1 cup red wine
1 tsp thyme
pepper as needed
Toss the meat in flour and coarse pepper in a plastic bag. Heat oil to shimmering and coat onions and garlic until translucent. Add meat and brown well. Add everything but wine to slow cooker and mix well. Add wine to frying pan and scrap up fond. Add that to cooker too. Cook on low for 8 hours. Adjust seasoning to taste 1 hour before serving.
Of course, you need something with it and so we made baguettes with the no-knead bread recipe we posted previously. I used a stone heated for 30 minutes this time and this silly half round baguette pan and it really came out nice. We got a little too much flour on the peel and it stuck to the bread, but it didn't hurt anything.
The partial loave sadly did not survive to cool. It was immediately consumed by two large young men, who smothered it in butter and shared with the dog. They wonder why she is so fat.
