Ingredients

  • 1.2 kg (2.5 lb.) lamb leg meat
  • 500 ml (2 cups) red wine ~ Algerian if possible
  • 500 ml (2 cups) beef broth ~
  • degreased 120 g (1/2 cup) butter
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 250 ml (1 cup) water
  • A pinch of sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp cream Olive oil
  • chives
  • sesame seeds

Directions

1

1) Slice the lamb into thin strips; place on a serving platter; drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with chopped chives and sesame seeds.

2

2) In a skillet, make a roux with the butter and cornstarch; stir in the water until well blended and then add the wine and beef broth; add the pinch of sugar and salt and pepper to taste.

3

3) Place the broth into the fondue pot and place over the heat source.

4

4) Immerse each piece of meat into the very hot broth.

5

For the beef broth, you can simply heat up some beef consommé, use a bouillon cube dissolved in boiling water, or make a good homemade broth by simmering a large piece of shoulder (with bones) with onions and carrots for 3-4 hours; strain; season with salt and pepper; add the red wine and boil again. The broth can be made a day ahead.
