Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large pot.
  2. Add all the vegetables. If the carrots are large, cut them in half and lightly brown 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 saucepan, 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. Sear the lamb ribs in the oil, then add them to the first stockpot.
