Postopek

Korak za korakom

1
Place the lamb shoulder pieces in a large pot and cover with water.
Kuharjeva opomba: Ensure the meat is fully submerged.
2
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
Približno 10 min
3
Add the yellow onion, carrot, celery stalk, bay leaf, salt, and black peppercorns to the pot.
4
Cover the pot and simmer gently for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the lamb is very tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Približno 2 h
Kuharjeva opomba: Check occasionally to ensure the liquid level is adequate; add more hot water if necessary.
5
Carefully remove the lamb from the pot and set aside to cool slightly. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean pot, discarding the solids.
Približno 10 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Press on the solids to extract as much flavor as possible from the vegetables before discarding.
6
Shred the lamb meat from the bones, discarding any fat or gristle. Set the shredded lamb aside.
Približno 10 min
7
Bring the strained broth to a boil. Add the arborio rice and stir well.
Približno 5 min
8
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed most of the broth and is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Približno 15 min
Kuharjeva opomba: The rice should be creamy but not mushy, similar to a risotto.
9
Stir the shredded lamb back into the rice.
10
Pour the melted staka butter over the rice and stir gently to combine.
Kuharjeva opomba: The staka butter adds a distinctive richness and flavor.
11
Remove from heat, cover, and let the gamopilafo rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Približno 10 min
Kuharjeva opomba: This allows the flavors to meld and the rice to fully absorb any remaining liquid.
12
Serve hot, garnished with a lemon wedge if desired.
