Directions

  1. Heat the oil paint in a saucepan.
  2. Add all the vegetables. If the carrots are large, cut them in half and lightly sauté them. ≈ 8 min
  3. Add the vinegar, brown sugar, thyme sprigs, salt, and pepper. ≈ 3 min
  4. Cook and roast the vegetables for 45 minutes, or until they are tender. You can also do this in the oven at 180 °C to keep the vegetables firmer.
  5. In a separate pot, bring the wine and shallots to a boil. Add the cinnamon, thyme, salt, and pepper, and simmer over low heat until the sauce has reduced by half.
  6. First, sear the lamb ribs in oil until browned, then add them to the first pot.
  7. Pour the sauce over the lamb and let it cook for another hour or so, until the lamb is tender.
