3 large ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, diced 7 TBS fresh lime juice
|
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion 6 TBS chopped fresh cilantro 3
|
jalapeno chiles, seeded, minced Salt and pepper to taste Bring stock
|
to a boil in heavy medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Add ancho
|
chiles. Cover and let stand until soft, about 30 min. Transfer ancho
|
chiles and 2 cups stock to processor or blender, add chipotle chiles
|
and puree the lot of them! Stir into remaining stock and set aside.
|
Heat 1/4 cup oil in large Dutch Oven or covered pot over high heat
|
and add lamb meat and reserved bones in batches. Cook until meat is
|
brown about 3 min. per batch. Transfer to bowl using slotted spoon.

Add remaining 2 TBS oil to Dutch oven and saut=E9 onions and garlic
|
for 3 min. Return meat, bones and juices accumulated in bowl to
|
Dutch oven. Add your brew and simmer for 10 min. Have a brew. Add
|
stock mixture, tomatoes, chili powder and cumin and simmer until lamb

Season with salt and pepper. Mix all of your avocado ingredients in

a bowl just prior to serving. Serves 8. Note: Lamb bones add flavor
|
to the stock. Ask the butcher to bone a Leg of Lamb and cut the bones

into 2 inch pieces and the meat into 3/4 inch cubes, leaving off as
|
much fat as possible (unless you're into that fat thing ... which is
|
okay).
