Rami Levy Supermarket Chain Offers Rosh Hashanah Lamb Recipe

As the Jewish New Year approaches, Rami Levy Marketing and Investments, an Israeli supermarket chain, is providing customers with a special holiday recipe. The featured dish is a slow-cooked lamb shoulder braised in red wine and silan (date syrup), intended to be a festive main course for holiday meals.

The recipe details the ingredients needed, including lamb shoulder from the chain's deli counter, purple onions, mushrooms, silan, mustard, coarse salt, black pepper, red wine, boiling water, garlic, rosemary, and potatoes. It outlines a multi-step preparation process.

Preparation involves searing the lamb shoulder, then sautéing onions and mushrooms in the same pot. The braising liquid is created by adding silan, mustard, red wine, and hot water. The lamb is returned to the pot with aromatics and liquid, then slow-cooked in a 160-degree Celsius oven for three hours.

After the initial cooking, potatoes are added, and the dish continues to bake for another hour and a half. In the final stage, a glaze made from silan and the cooking liquid is brushed onto the lamb shoulder, which is then returned to the oven uncovered for about 15 minutes to achieve a final browning.
